FOREWORD
HOME OWNERS' CATALOGS is sent to you in the belief that it
will help you derive greater satisfaction from your new home. You will
find it of real assistance as a reference work and a valuable aid in the
selection of building materials, equipment and furnishings.
Building a home is more than a romantic experience. Intensely practical aspects
are involved, and the satisfaction you derive over the years will depend largely
upon the success with which you meet the practical phases of house construc-
tion. Of these no others are so important as Design and Plan. Design and Plan
must be adjusted to your Desires, your Needs, and your Budget. The architec-
turally trained man is better able to handle this phase of the home building oper-
tion than anyone else.
Nevertheless, no one is as interested in your house as you are; you are going to
pay for it; you are going to live in it. Once a material or an equipment goes in,
it is there to stay. Once money is invested in furnishings, they are not to be
discarded lightly. In taking care of this practical aspect of home building, noth-
ing is more important than information.
Home Owners' Catalogs is a mine of current, reliable information. In it you
will find descriptions of products that will increase the comfort and conve-
nience of your home, enhance its appearance, make it less costly to maintain,
and add to its value as an investment. You will find products that are new to
you, and desirable suggestions that may not have occurred to you. You will
probably add Home Owners' Catalogs to your library and consult it from time
to time, as you redecorate or add to your home.

In building A new home, you natu-
rally want the most value for every
dollar you spend. To make certain of
this, care must be exercised to distinguish
between what is really important and
what only seems important. There are
many desirable things — accessories that
are useful but not essential — on which
action can be postponed.
But there are other things that are
vital; matters of sound construction —
fundamental things, too often overlooked,
that mean so much to the enjoyment of
your home in after years. Such things, for
example, as water pipes and storage tanks
. . . roofing, roof flashings, gutters and
rain pipes . . . window and door screens.
These items, all of them important, are
frequently neglected because they seem
but incidentals; neglected in some in-
stances so badly that they soon constitute
a burden of upkeep and repair expense
that strains the family budget and takes
from home ownership much of the pleas-
ure it should rightfully hold.
The Anaconda Products described on
the following pages are giving rust-free ,
trouble-free service . . . and saving money
. . . for thousands of homeowners who have
had the foresight to provide for the future by
spending a little more at first for rustless
copper, brass and bronze.
# # *
And to assure yourself of the utmost in
value, make sure that Anaconda Metals
are specified and used. Anaconda Metals
are made and trade-marked by The
American Brass Company, world's largest
and most experienced manufacturer of
copper and copper alloys.

For ROOFS
of Charm and
Lasting Economy
COPPER IS THE FINEST MATERIAL
YOU CAN USE
T^or centuries copper roofs have
A adorned palaces, cathedrals and state
buildings throughout the world; for such
monumental structures the superiority of
copper roofing has long been recognized.
It has provided both stateliness and charm,
warmth yet dignity, and the economy which
characterizes this lasting non-rust metal.
* * *
To the home, copper roofing brings rich
appearance and a note of character and
quality. The effect becomes increasingly
beautiful as the copper ages and attains
the mellow antique color that is so highly
prized and valued for decorative purposes.
# # *
Copper roofing, rustless and lasting, com-
bines to a degree unrivaled by any other
material these important qualifications:
It is water-tight in spite of time and
weather, relatively light in weight, non-
inflammable and safe against flying em-
bers. Snow and ice do not adhere readily
to its smooth surface. It is easily installed,
and above all most economical over the
years.
Copper roofing is now available at a cost
which makes its use practical even for the
small home — a cost well expressed in the
name Economy Copper Roofing. This Ana-
conda product, designed especially for
residential roofing, is described in detail
on the following pages.

ANACONDA
ECONOMY COPPER ROOFING
The copper used for the many out-
standing roofs in this country and
abroad has weighed 16 or more ounces to
the square foot — resulting in a more costly
roof than the average homeowner could
afford.
With the development of Anaconda
Economy Copper Roofing, an attractive
standing seam roof of this time-tried metal
can be installed according to traditional
methods at a saving of approximately
one-third the cost of sheet copper roofing
heretofore used.
You may well wonder that this cost
reduction could be achieved without some
sacrifice in the important qualifications
of watertightness > durability and beauty.
The two-fold reasons are: i — Narrowing
the sheets to a width of 16 inches reduces
seam spacing to a point in keeping with
(6)
smaller roofs, and makes possible the use
of thinner metal without sacrificing the
strength, rigidity and wind resistance
obtained from thicker sheets with wider
seam spacing. This new design has per-
mitted establishing the weight of Ana-
conda Economy Copper Roofing at 10
ounces per square foot. 2 — These lighter
weight sheets, being more workable, are
more easily and quickly formed and as-
sembled by experienced sheet metal con-
tractors. This reduces installation expense.
That a copper roof at such savings pro-
vides an entirely new standard of econ-
omy will be apparent from the following
specific advantages:
Appearance — Copper increases in beauty
with age and service. Under most atmos-
pheric conditions, the metal takes on a
color similar to statuary bronze and even-
tually acquires the characteristic, velvety
green patina which blends so well with
stone, brick, wood and foliage. This patina
also serves a useful purpose in that it
forms a natural protection for the copper
underneath.
Durability — The durability of copper is
traditional. The hottest sun cannot harm
it. Below-zero weather leaves it unaf-
fected. For generations copper roofs have
protected Christ Church in Philadelphia,
the Trinity Church in New York, and the
State Capitol in Boston — to mention but
a few well-known examples. Standing
seam roofs were much more successful
than other types in withstanding the ef-
fects of the hurricane which devastated so
many homes along the Atlantic seaboard
in the autumn of 1938.
This home in Dart en, Conn., was roofed by the
N. Hamilton Company of Stamford.
Economy Copper Roofing on a house in Marblehead, Mass.,
designed by Donald C, Goss, Architect.
Maintenance — -A copper roof, correctly
installed, should need no further attention.
Of all forms of metal roofing, the standing
seam type is the most satisfactory and
inexpensive to install. It provides ade-
quately for expansion and contraction.
Fire-Proof — -A copper roof eliminates the
flying spark hazard, thus earning a lower
insurance rate.
Snow-Free— Snow and ice do not readily
adhere to the smooth surface of a copper

roof. This minimizes danger of leaks at
flashings when banked up snow and ice
melt.
Cools Faster — A home owner in Fort
Worth testifies: "I am glad to report that
this copper roof was much cooler than
other types of roof that hold the heat in
Texas sometimes after midnight. Ana-
conda Copper will cool off in 15 minutes
after the sun goes down."
Protects Insulation — This protection is
highly important. Water or moisture im-
pairs the efficiency of cellular insulating
materials. A correctly installed copper
roof is not only water-tight, but com-
pletely moisture-proof— ideal construction
for an insulated home.
Light Weight — Economy Copper Roof-
ing is much lighter in weight than wood,
tile, asbestos or slate. Hence a heavy,
more costly supporting structure is un-
necessary.
The Combination of these Advantages
is Unsurpassed Value
The ideal roof could well possess all of
these important advantages. In addition,
it should be easy and inexpensive to in-
stall, and should require a minimum of
expense for maintenance. Anaconda Econ-
omy Copper Roofing fulfills all of these
requirements. Compare it, point by point,
with other roofing materials, and you will
see why Anaconda Economy Copper
Roofing offers unexcelled value.

Standing Seams—This type of joint is
readily made, and has proved its efficiency in
long service. The standing seam, which does
not require solder, provides free movement
for the expansion and contraction of the
metal. Spacing between seams is approxi-
mately 13^ inches.
Horizontal Seams — The seams at the ends
of each pan are of the simple flat-lock type,
K" l a P ? unsoldered. Horizontal seams are
staggered.
Cleats— No nails penetrate the sheets them-
selves, which are kept in place by copper
straps (cleats), nailed to the roof deck every
12 inches along each vertical seam, and cross
seams if desired, with flat-head copper nails.
Valleys — Ten-ounce Copper is considered
satisfactory, but where the valleys drain large
roof areas or extra rigidity is desired, copper
weighing 16 ounces per square foot should be
used.
Soldering — Installation is made without the
use of solder, except in unusual instances
where soldering is absolutely necessary to
make flashing joints watertight.
Pitch— Economy Copper Roofing should not
be applied on slopes of less than four inches to
the foot.
Sheathing — Boards should be laid solid
without open joints, parallel to ridge. Sheath-
ing boards are covered with 15-pound asphalt-
saturated felt.
Re-Roofing — Anaconda Economy Copper
Roofing is of course as suitable for old roofs
as for new, but it should not be applied di-
rectly over old roofing materials.

ANACONDA SHEET COPPER
For non-rust Gutters, Rainpipes, Flashings
Regardless of the type of roofing, extreme
care should be used in selecting the metal
which is needed for the roof drainage system.
Repairs and replacements are an item of fu-
ture expense that can easily be avoided.
Valleys, gutters and rain-pipes should by all
means be made of copper. Rain water, con-
centrating in the valleys and gutters, and
rushing in flood volume to the downspouts,
severely tests rust-weakened metal. That is
why metals that rust usually last only five to
eight years, while copper serves indefinitely.
The same is true of flashings^strips of
metal used to weather-proof the roof wherever
it comes in contact with chimneys, dormer
windows or other projections. It is most im-
portant that the metal used be copper be-
cause ferrous flashings will soon rust, admitting
water to rot the
woodwork and
perhaps to cause
considerable dam-
age to the interior
of the house.
Copper sheet
metal work is not
expensive. Though
it does cost slight-
ly more in the be-
ginning, it saves
far more in the
end by forever
eliminating upkeep expense due to rust. Cop-
per, for instance, never need be painted, but
if ferrous metal is used, constant painting to
delav rust adds another annoying expense.
Many homeowners are insisting
on copper. They have found that,
no matter how "cheap" r us table
gutters and rain -pipes seem to
be, they always cost jar more in
the end.

RUST-FREE
WATER
YEAR AFTER YEAR
FROM TROUBLE-FREE PIPING of COPPER or BRASS
A full flow of rust- free water — at all times.
. That is the demand of the tenant and
owner, and the goal of the architect. The real-
ization that rustable water pipe, resulting in
eventual repair or replacement, is not eco-
nomical, has led to a pronounced increase in
the specification and use of brass and
copper for water supply, heating and air con-
ditioning lines.
Permanent Pipe Needed
The need for permanent pipe was not as
great a generation ago as it is today. Then
piping was exposed and accessible, and labor
costs were lower. Replacements were expect-
ed, and relatively inexpensive. Nevertheless,
there are many authentic records of igth cen-
tury brass pipe installations that have justi-
fied the foresight of their original owners by
a half-century and more of trouble-free, unin-
terrupted water service.
Rust — the most common cause of pipe
troubles— results in rust-colored water, re-
duced flow, and eventually in leaks. With
present-day piping usually concealed behind
walls and under floors, repairs and replace-
ments cause serious expense and annoyance.
The cost of pipe renewals usually amounts to
many times the initial saving that rustable
pipe seems to offer. Realizing this, it is logical
that thoughtful homeowners are turning so
generally to non-rusting metal — to avoid the
possibility of future rust troubles.
Other factors further emphasize the need
for quality pipe. The corrosiveness of public
water supplies is in itself a serious problem.
Present standards of sanitation have broadly
extended the chemical treatment of domestic
waters, in many cases increasing their cor-
rosiveness.
The effective resistance to corrosion that
brass or copper pipe and copper tubes offer
meets a nation-wide need. Correctly installed,
they provide dependable and economical pro-
tection against pipe failures due to rust. Their
additional cost is slight in relation to the total
plumbing cost, and negligible in relation to
the total cost of the home.

ANACONDA "85" RED BRASS PIPE
REG. U. S. PAT. OFF.
85% Copper— For Highly Corrosive Waters
WHERE THE CORROSIVENESS of water IS
known to be exceptionally severe, a
permanent water supply can be assured only
by use of pipe with extraordinary resistance
to corrosion.
Such corrosive conditions are very often
found in localities drawing on mechanically
filtered supplies without further treatment.
These waters may be relatively low in hard-
ness, high in carbonic acid gas content and
low in alkalinity — pH value 5 to 6.5. Ground
waters from shallow artesian wells or large
dug wells and colored waters from peaty
sources usually fall under this classification.
There is a growing tendency to treat such
waters, not only to neutralize the carbonic
acid gas, but to make the water high in
alkalinity with pH value around 9 or 10.
Anaconda 85 Red Brass Pipe is recommended
for use with such types of water. It offers the
greatest resistance to corrosion of any water
pipe commercially obtainable at moderate cost.
Anaconda 85 Red Brass Pipe is also recom-
mended for underground service lines as-
sembled with threaded connections.
There are certain conditions , depending upon
the character of the water, when Sj Red Brass
Pipe should be tinned. Additional information
furnished on request.

ANACONDA "67" BRASS PIPE
REG. U. S. PAT. OFF.
67% Copper— For Normally Corrosive Waters
4 naconda 67 Brass Pipe can be depended
jt\. upon to give lasting service in all locali-
ties where normal conditions prevail; that is,
where the water has a low permanent hard-
ness, a fair degree of temporary hardness, is
low in carbonic acid gas content, or is only
slightly alkaline.
Corrosiveness of Water is
Subject to Change:
It should be borne in mind, however, that
the corrosiveness of domestic waters is sub-
ject to radical changes, due principally to the
introduction of new purification methods and
to the need for additional sources of supply to
meet the constantly growing requirements of
most communities. As a result, waters that
are only normally corrosive today may be
highly so in a few years.
Consequently , when specifications call for
standard-size pipe assembled with threaded
"screw-type" connections. The American Brass
Company recommends the use of Anaconda
"85" Red Brass Pipe in every instance where it
is not definitely known that the water supply is
only normally corrosive, or where there is a pos-
sibility that changing conditions may in the
future increase the corrosiveness of the local
water supply.

ANACONDA COPPER WATER TUBES
For Low Cost, Rust-Proof
Plumbing and Heating Lines
Where low cost is of primary importance,
Anaconda Copper Tubes and Anaconda
Solder-Type Fittings are finding widespread
use. A complete installation costs but a little
more than one of short-lived rustable pipe and
fittings. This low cost is due to the fact that
solder-type joints eliminate threading — mak-
ing possible lighter tube walls, less weight
per foot and a corresponding reduction in
cost. Labor costs are also minimized. How-
ever, such important points as thorough
cleaning, correct heat, proper fluxing and the
right solder make it imperative to employ
an experienced plumbing contractor.
Mechanically, such a piping system pro-
vides more than ample strength where condi-
tions of pressure and temperature are normal.
In this respect, copper tubes are ideally suited
to hot and cold water lines in houses.
With rust-proof piping available at such
reasonable cost, it is evident that its use
affords definite, worthwhile savings, in addi-
tion to the convenience of a full flow of rust-
free water, year in and year out.
Anaconda Copper Tubes are furnished in
three wall thicknesses: Types "K", "L" and
"M". Type "K", the heaviest, is furnished for
underground service and general plumbing.
Type "L" Tubes are suitable for interior
plumbing. Although Type "M" Tubes have
been used, Types "K" and "L" are preferred
because their more substantial wall thick-
nesses provide a greater margin of safety.
There are certain conditions , depending upon
the water y when copper tube lines should be
tinned. Additional information furnished on
request.

FOR HEATING LINES
Copper Tubes Speed Up
Circulation, Cut Heat Losses,
Give Greater Efficiency
An installation of Anaconda Tubes and
l Fittings increases the efficiency of hot
water heating systems. Both tubes and fit-
tings have smooth inside surfaces which re-
duce resistance to the flow of water ... a
feature which is especially valuable in forced
circulation systems. Hot water, conveyed
through bright, uninsulated Anaconda Cop-
per Tubes, loses only about one-half as much
heat as is lost when uninsulated black iron of
the same nominal size is used. Heat conserva-
tion with copper is further increased with the
use of smaller sizes— because of the faster
flow which is due to the permanently smooth
interior of copper tubes. With quicker circu-
lation and reduced heat losses, maximum heat
is delivered to radiators in the least possible
time.
Another advantage of Copper Tubes is that
when installed without covering, the gleaming
metal enhances the appearance of the cellar
and basement room used for recreational
purposes.
Anaconda Solder-Type Fittings
The natural law of capillary attraction is the
principle on which the design of Anaconda
Solder-Type Fittings is based. Metal workers
have employed this principle for years in
sweating sections of pipe together. Solder will
flow by means of capillary attraction vertically
upward between two closely fitted tubes to a
height many times the distance required to
make a solder joint, regardless of the size of
the fittings.
* # #
Anaconda Fittings are available in both
wrought copper and cast bronze. The com-
plete Anaconda line includes a solder-type
fitting for every copper tube requirement in
plumbing, heating and drainage. Anaconda
Copper Water Tubes are furnished both hard
and soft. Both tubes and fittings are made to
the accurate, standardized dimensions so es-
sential for sound, leakproof joints.
Look for the Anaconda trade-mark on
fittings, and the name "Anaconda" stamped
in copper tubes. It is your assurance of careful
manufacture and dependable quality.

comfort in the home of today. Yet spar-
kling hot water may be expected, year
in and year out, only when the hot water
tank is made of metal that cannot rust.
This is easy to understand — because hot
water causes rust to form even faster than
cold water.
A glance at the illustrations below reveals
how rust, once started, continues to attack
ordinary tank metal.
EVERDUR — Ideal Tank Metal
Steel and copper were long the standard materials for hot water
storage tanks. Each possessed distinct advantages. Steel offered
high strength and economical fabrication, but was subject to rust
and corrosion which tainted water, and in time weakened tank
metal to a point below the limit of safety. Copper has provided
the corrosion-resistance so often essential to long, economical
service, but has lacked the physical properties needed for
economical tank construction.
Everdur Copper-Silicon Alloy combines the corrosion-resistance
of pure copper with the tensile strength of mild steel. Moreover,
its ease of welding makes it possible to manufacture Everdur
tanks of virtually one-piece construction at lower cost than pure
copper tanks, which are usually brazed and riveted.

J
SIZES AND TYPES
Everdur tanks in service today range in size
from one gallon fuel containers for gasoline
stoves to 20,000 gallon pressure vessels oper-
ating in chemical process work. They are in
service in laundries, textile plants, hotels, hos-
pitals, schools, office buildings, apartment
houses and homes.
AUTOMATIC HEATERS
Because Everdur is so strong, and can be so
economically and perfectly welded, important
manufacturers of automatic gas, electric and
oil heaters, with very few exceptions, have
adopted Everdur tanks as standard equip-
ment for rustproof models.
Everdur tanks provide high efficiency and
most economical operation for underfired hot
water heaters. There can be no accumulation
of rust from tank corrosion at the bottom of
the vessel to insulate the water from the heat-
ing element.
Further information on automatic heaters
with Everdur tanks can be obtained from
your local Gas or Electric Company, or your
local plumbing contractor.
TESTING EVERDUR TANKS
Everdur tank units for domestic heaters have
been subjected to the most drastic tests. One
manufacturer making an all- welded tank from
Everdur plates applied a test known as the
"breather." It consists of pulsating pressure
in the tank from o to 150 pounds, 13 times a
minute. Five hundred hours of this test are
considered the equivalent of 20 years of nor-
mal service. Everdur tanks have been held on
this test for over 1,000 hours without showing
signs of leaks or distortion.
This drastic test demonstrates the great

strength of Everdur Metal, but it must be re-
membered that under no circumstances should
any domestic water tank, regardless of the
metal of which it is made, be operated with-
out a suitable pressure relief valve.
(16)
EVERDUR STORAGE
When an automatic storage heater is not used,
the hot water is generally kept in a storage
tank, or "range" boiler. Leading manufac-
turers of such tanks have adopted Everdur
Metal for non-rust units.
Used with the different types of independ-
ent heating units, range boilers in the past

Co., Wichita, Kansas.
TANKS (Range Boilers)
have been made principally of steel — although
copper has always been used in sections of the
country where the water supply is highly cor-
rosive. However, welded Everdur tanks have
offered many production economies, with the
result that the price differential between the
rusting and non-rusting kind has been con-
siderably reduced.
Home owners, no longer content with rusty
hot water, or frequent repairs and periodic
replacements, are installing welded Everdur
storage tanks. These are generally available
from plumbing contractors in all standard
sizes and for standard pressures.
FUEL TANKS, TOO,
are being made of Everdur
Gasoline-fired ranges, stoves, radiant heaters
and other similar equipment are available with
fuel tanks of welded Everdur. Being strong,
and highly resistant to corrosion, Everdur
gasoline tanks provide maximum safety.

ANACONDA WHITE LEAD
mmmmmmmi
ORDINARY
ANACONDA
The paint films shown above were prepared by dropping paint on rapidly whirling glass plates y thus retaining a very
thin film which outlines granular particles. As shown , ordinary lead paints are sandy in comparison with xAnaconda.
Today as always, white lead paint is regarded
as best for exterior gloss and interior flat uses.
Furthermore, at today's low prices (Summer,
1939) white lead costs no more per gallon than
most other paints. But, of more importance,
no paint serves at less cost per square foot per
year than white lead. White lead covers better,
goes farther and spreads faster. This means
fewer gallons and fewer hours on the job. Last-
ing longer, washing well, wearing evenly, white
lead leaves a smooth surface for repainting.
Why ANACONDA White Lead?
Anaconda White Lead is whiter, brighter,
smoother, and purer than any other white lead
—because it is the only white lead made by
Electro-Chemistry. This patented Anaconda
process automatically excludes the impurities
found in ordinary white lead. Rigid control
ANACONDA WHITE LEAD IS MADE BY INTERNATIONAL
EAST CHICAGO, INDIANA (SUBSIDIARY
throughout manufacture permits over 80
physical, mechanical and chemical tests daily
to insure perfect uniformity.
Test comparisons of Anaconda and other
white leads show that Anaconda is definitely
whiter and brighter. Homes painted with
Anaconda White Lead do look fresh longer.
And for interior flat paints, the extreme white-
ness of Anaconda White Lead makes possible
cleaner, purer tints — particularly important
when you want the full beauty of delicate
pastel shades. Thoroughly ground in the
finest linseed oil, it is
available through lead-
ing paint jobbers and
dealers. For further

SEALING
YOUR HOME
WITH COPPER
ANACONDA " £Lectto-Skeei' COPPER
A recent development by the technical
staff of the Anaconda Copper Mining
Company now makes it possible to damp-
proof and weatherproof your home with non-
rust copper for very little more than you
would have to pay for the perishable materi-
als that have necessarily been used in the past.
This new material, known as "Electro-
Sheet", is pure copper produced in very thin
gauges by electrical deposition. It is strong
and ductile, and provides a lasting seal against
wind, weather and moisture. It affords inval-
uable protection to cellular insulating mate-
rials. In winter, it keeps cold out and heat in;
in the summer it helps to keep the house cool.
"Electro-Sheet" Copper may be employed
wherever building paper is used, and applied
by much the same methods. And it costs but
little more than high grade building paper.
Applied to foundation walls and cellar
floors it keeps basements dry. The foundations
and walls of a house damp-proofed and weather-
proofed with "Electro-Sheet" are virtually
encased in an envelope of Copper.
Anaconda "Electro-Sheet" Copper for
damp-proofing and weatherproofing is avail-
able in 30, 50, and 60-inch widths and
weights of 1, 2 and 3 ounces per square foot,
bonded to building paper or surfaced with
asphaltic compounds.
WEATHER-PROOFING AND DAMP-PROOFING
It is generally recognized that both comfort
and heating economy in a home depend to a
great extent upon the efficiency of the outside
walls in acting as a barrier against heat, cold,
wind and dampness. The tendency towards
equalization of temperatures between the in-
side and the outside is brought about prin-
cipally by two causes — infiltration and con-
duction.
INFILTRATION is the passing of cold or
warm air, moisture or dust through the joints
and pores of ordinary building materials.
"Electro-Sheet" Copper is not subject to
deterioration and when applied as shown on
the next page provides a permanent air-
tight barrier. It affords the most economical
and practical method of preventing infiltra-
tion through the surfaces to which it is applied.
(19)
CONDUCTION through a building wall is the
transference of heat in or out of the building
due to the tendency of heat to pass through
all materials in various degrees.
This may be overcome by installing cellu-
lar insulating materials, a practice which is
being followed in many homes being con-
structed today.
Since most insulating materials are effective
only when dry, it is quite important to have
the insulation protected on the outside by a
lining of "Electro-Sheet" Copper.
CLAPBOARD OR WOOD SHINGLE
EXTERIORS
Clapboards or wood shingles as commonly
applied to the exterior sides of buildings are
never airtight and seldom completely weath-
erproof. In order to minimize infiltration from
this type of wall a single ply of i-oz. "Electro-
Sheet" can be face nailed to the outside of the
sheathing boards.
STUCCO EXTERIOR
Where stucco on metal lath is employed for
outside wall facing, efficient waterproofing is
of the utmost importance. One layer of 2-oz.
"Electro-Sheet" applied in horizontal courses
against the sheathing and securely held in po-
sition by furring strips will protect the sheath-
ing against moisture.
BRICK OR STONE VENEER EXTERIOR
Brick or stone veneer outside a wood framed
and sheathed house represents a common type
of construction. A single ply of 2-oz. "Electro-
Sheet" nailed onto the face of the sheathing,
with the bottom flashed so as to lead any
moisture penetrating through the veneer to
the outside, will protect the woodwork from
water both during construction and after.
"Electro-Sheet" applied in this way also mini-
mizes infiltration and makes the wall surfaces
as nearly airtight as possible.
ATTIC FLOOR LINING
Loss of warm air by outward filtration is most
marked at the roof because of the tendency of
warm air to rise. By applying a thin mem-
brane of copper to the top of attic joists,
clamping the edges of the sheets down with
furring strips, and nailing the attic flooring
over the strips, two dead air. spaces are cre-
ated, which, with the practically airtight cop-
per membrane, will have a very desirable
effect as regards heating and air conditioning.
Maximum efficiency is achieved when this
construction is used in conjunction with cel-
lular insulation. The copper will protect the
insulation from moisture, and will prevent the
loss of heat by outward filtration.
VAPOR SEAL AGAINST
CONDENSATION
Use of insulation and of air conditioning
increases the possibility of condensation in
building walls during cold weather. Tighter
construction, by not allowing moisture to
evaporate to the outdoors, also builds up
higher relative humidities and increases the
danger of harmful condensation within the
walls. Under such conditions it is advisable
Copper Vapor Seal has been fastened to inside of studs
over insulating material. As this room will be plastered \
metal lath is shown partially applied {at top) over the copper.
(20)
to provide a vapor seal on the inside of the
studding as well as a weatherproofing shield
under the outside covering, particularly
masonry veneer or stucco.
The preceding picture shows the application
of "Electro-Sheet" Copper to the inside edge
of the studs to serve as a vapor seal. Applied
as indicated, with all laps tightly clamped, an
impervious barrier is provided through which
moisture-laden air cannot percolate to con-
dense its vapor as water in the walls. At the
same time this inside seal gives added pro-
tection against infiltration with a consequent
saving in fuel.
CELLAR DAMP-PROOFING AND
WATER-PROOFING
The most effective method of cellar water-
proofing is the application of sheets or layers
of water-proof material on the outside of the
cellar walls. This keeps the masonry dry, re-
sulting in a minimum of movement in the
structural materials.
"Electro-Sheet" Copper is ideally suited
for this use, because it is rust-proof, strong,

ductile and can be applied readily. For water-
proofing where a hydrostatic head exists, two
plies of 2 oz. "Electro-Sheet" are usually
applied with pitch, asphalt or other mastic.
Where only damp-proofing is wanted, one ply
should be sufficient. The "Electro-Sheet" is
also applied to the concrete footing before the
foundation wall is laid, extending through to
join the "Electro-Sheet" water-proofing laid
between the cellar sub-floor and the finished
floor. This should provide complete protection
against water and dampness entering the cellar.
-Electro-Sheer plain or bonded to building paper will keep air and moisture from penetrating the walls.

Architect Praises "Electro-Sheet"
... In the building of a frame house
in Mariemont, Ohio, "Electro-Sheet" Copper
weighing one ounce per square foot was in-
stalled between wall sheathing and siding,
roof sheathing and shingles, and under the
attic floor. The architect for this house has
since written:
"During zero winter weather, this house is very
easily heated with a hot water system for an
insulated house of this size. Also, during the
summer y when temperatures hover around ioo
degrees, or higher for more than a week, the
occupants state that the interior of the house is
quite cool and comfortable. I can freely recom-
mend copper used in this manner as a very
economical means of preventing heat losses."
TERMITE-PROOFING
The most effective safeguard against termite
damage is a copper shield inserted between
the masonry foundation and sills. This shield,
where it extends beyond the foundation wall,
should be bent down at a 45 angle allowing
a minimum of 2 inches between the edge of
shield and the foundation.
Copper weighing 16 to 20 oz. per sq. ft. (the
heavier is less liable to mechanical injury) has
been used for some time in this manner. The
material is relatively inexpensive, easily ap-
plied, highly effective and permanent. Any
experienced sheet metal contractor can form
and install copper termite shields.

guards, address The Copper and Brass Research Association, 420 Lexington Avenue, New York, N. Y.

WINDOWS

WEATHERSTRIPS
BRONZE WINDOWS NOW AVAILABLE AT ATTRACTIVE PRICES
With attention focused on heat conser-
vation, insulation, air conditioning and
other related subjects which all have a bear-
ing on health, comfort and economy, the win-
dow rightly comes in for more and more scru-
tiny. For poorly fitted windows will set to
naught the efficiency of thorough wall insula-
tion. Primary requisites of the modern win-
dow are I. Permanently tight, accurate fit;
2. Easy operation; 3. Maximum vision. Hence
metal windows, particularly those of bronze,
come into their own. Today standardization of
design and increased production have resulted
in attractive prices for bronze windows.
Both double hung and casement type win-
dows are now available in enduring Bronze.
Most of these are sold as a unit, complete with
weatherstripping and glazing. Some double
hung bronze windows compare favorably in
price with ordinary wood windows. All offer
definite advantages, and in general it may be
said that durability, freedom from upkeep
expense and important fuel savings more than
make up for whatever slight extra investment
is made in bronze windows.
BRONZE SASH CHAINS
Double hung windows are usually counter-
balanced by sash weights at the end of ropes
or chains operating over pulleys. Bronze sash
chain is not expensive . . . yet it can never
fray, rot or rust. Once installed, bronze chains
insure smoother, easier operation — not for
just a few years, but indefinitely.
BRONZE WEATHERSTRIPPING
Reliable authorities estimate that from 20%
to 40% of heating costs are wasted every
winter unless windows and doors are properly
weatherstripped. Without weatherstripping,
heat leaks out and cold seeps in — whether the
windows are wood or metal. (For air-condi-
tioned buildings, weatherstrips are a neces-
sity). Surely you can't afford this waste, and
surely you want the even, comfortable, health-
////temperature you can maintain by weather-
stripping.
And remember that careful, accurate instal-
lation of strips is all-important. If they aren't
tight, and don't stay tight year after year,
their inefficiency reduces your saving. For the
best and longest service, use bronze.
Bronze weatherstrips can't rust, can't dis-
integrate. Tough and strong, they provide
lasting "spring" qualities and the greatest
resistance to accidental damage.
Anaconda Bronze is standard with leading
manufacturers of metal weatherstrip. It is
guaranteed by some for the life of the building.
For weatherstripping doors, extruded bronze
saddles at the base add the finishing touch to
the ideal job. They look well; they are tough,
long wearing and efficient.

Money
From the standpoint of expense, screens of
Bronze Wire are the most economical you
can use. Remember that screen wire is very
fine and quickly rusts through if made of rust-
able metal. That is why well-built homes
everywhere are equipped with screens of
bronze wire. Bronze is strengthened copper.
It cannot rust. Bronze Screens remain trim
and tight for years with a minimum of atten-
tion — they do not even require painting.
Instances are not exceptional where bronze
screens have been in service for 30 years and
are still in good condition. It may be conser-
vatively stated that the life of Bronze Screen-
ing is limited only by accidental breakage.
Yet its cost is so low (only about 40c more
than rustable screening per full-window),
that it pays for itself many times over during
its long years of service.
Screens with bronze frames are readily
available from leading manufacturers. Al-
though costing more than wood frames,
bronze frames can never warp or split, never
need painting. They add a note of richness
and distinction, not only when they are new
but season after season — indefinitely.

condition of this
screen cloth speaks
for itself. At the end

WARNING!
£Jn5l5t On Standard
Weight Bronze Screen
Cloth
In recent years there has been an increas-
ing amount of sub-standard bronze screen
cloth made and sold in the United States.
Although it represents only a relatively small
portion of the total, the danger of obtaining
it unknowingly is ever-present. So make cer-
tain that your bronze screen cloth is made of
wire which measures .01 13 inches in diameter.
This is the standard set in specifications of the
U. S. Government and the Wire Screen Cloth
Manufacturers' Institute. Cloth made of this
standard wire, woven 16 meshes to the inch.
weighs 15 pounds per 100 square feet. Some
sub-standard screening weighs but 9^ pounds
per 100 square feet— a slightly better grade
12 pounds. The strength of each individual
strand of wire is of course in direct propor-
tion to its weight.
The American Brass Company does not
make screens or screen cloth, but as the lead-
ing manufacturer of Bronze Wire for use in
the fabrication of screen cloth, we naturally
wish to safeguard the reputation of Bronze
for "lifetime" service. We are convinced that
while sub-standard bronze screen cloth will
satisfactorily resist corrosion, it lacks the
physical strength to withstand the abuse to
which all screens are occasionally subjected.
In your own interest, be sure that your
bronze screen cloth is made of standard gauge
wire — that "16-mesh" screening weighs 15
pounds per 100 square feet.
Only Standard Weight Bronze Screen Cloth
• Lies flat — does not bulge and twist
• Has a firm, solid "feel" — is easier to handle and frame
• Is a high strength material — does not dent easily
• Gives the long, expense-free service to be expected of bronze
• Weighs 15 lbs. per 100 sq. ft. in 16 mesh cloth

CONSULT
YOUR
ARCHITECT Jft
S>
From the volume of material presented between the covers of this
book, it must be apparent to most homebuilders that the maze of
new developments and improved building practices require the advice,
consultation and planning which only an experienced architect can give.
This has never been more true than it is today. For who better than your
architect can coordinate all the information on hundreds of structural and
engineering advancements, can tell you what is right, what is advisable,
and then mold all desirable items into a unified whole— a house planned
and built according to your taste — with everything considered in relation
to everything else, and nothing left to chance.
ANACONDA METALS
No one will question that the better a house is built, the longer it will last,
and the less it will cost for maintenance and repair in the years that lie
ahead. In building, we urge you to consider this carefully, and to discuss
it with your architect, builder and contractors. For sound construction
goes beneath the surface to unseen things, where so often metals less dur-
able than copper or brass prove far more costly in the end.

WHEN YOU START WITH ARMSTRONG'S LINOLEUM
Many folks who write to us for help on planning attractive rooms seek answers
to the same questions on linoleum. Below we've listed the questions that occur
most frequently, together with the answers of our decorating experts. We hope
this story in quiz form will give you the right start to your color schemes.
ARE LINOLEUM FLOORS EXPENSIVE?
Linoleum floors are only slightly higher in first cost
than other fine floors, but they save you money in
the long run because they never require expensive
refinishing to keep them attractive.
ARE LINOLEUM FLOORS SANITARY AND EASY TO CLEAN?
Yes, see page 5 for details.
HOW LONG WILL A LINOLEUM FLOOR LAST?
Armstrong's Linoleum Floors have been in service
fifteen to twenty years or even longer. Improved
manufacturing methods should mean even longer
life for linoleum being made today. Armstrong's
Linoleum is manufactured to specifications even
more rigid than U. S. Government standards.
CAN RUGS BE USED WITH LINOLEUM?
Certainly. Linoleum is a flooring, not a floor cover-
ing. Rugs should be used with it, as with any other
flooring. The handsome colors in a linoleum floor
bring out the rich beauty of color in fine rugs. Lino-
leum can be used without rugs, of course ; a feature
that makes it desirable where the buying of rugs
must be postponed, or when rugs are stored during
the hot summer months.
HOW MANY KINDS OF LINOLEUM ARE THERE?
There are seven main types: Plain, jaspe, Marbelle,
Monobelle, Embossed Inlaid, Straight Line Inlaid,
and Printed. Some of these are illustrated on pages
6 and 7. Your Armstrong dealer will be glad to show
you many other attractive colors and patterns.
WILL THE COLORS WEAR OFF LINOLEUM?
Except in Printed linoleum, the handsome colors run
through the full thickness of the composition.
Therefore, they will last as long as the linoleum itself.
IN HOW MANY THICKNESSES IS LINOLEUM MADE?
There are five thicknesses: 6 mm. (about J^-in.);
Jirin. ; Heavy (J^-in.); Medium (%2-in.); an d
Standard (%4-in.) gauges. These provide for every
floor requirement and every budget.
IS LINOLEUM CORRECT FOR LIVING-ROOMS, DINING-ROOMS,
BEDROOMS, ENTRANCE HALLS, AND OTHER ROOMS BESIDES
KITCHENS AND BATHROOMS?
Yes, Armstrong's Linoleum is being used for every
room in the house by many of the country's leading
architects and interior decorators.
ARE LINOLEUM FLOORS IN GOOD TASTE FOR PERIOD ROOMS,
SUCH AS SPANISH, EARLY AMERICAN, COLONIAL, ENGLISH,
SWEDISH, MODERN, ETC.?
Yes. Properly chosen linoleum floors harmonize
with every style of interior decoration.
AREN'T LINOLEUM FLOORS COLD?
Floors tend to assume the temperature of the room.
Linoleum is as warm as any other flooring; and
because it is practically a one-piece floor, it does not
permit drafts to come in through the floor boards.
Also, because it is laid over lining felt, linoleum
retards the escape of heat into cold basements.
[3
SUPPOSE NONE OF THE STANDARD PATTERNS SUITS ME?
If you cannot make a selection from Armstrong's
standard patterns, you can create individualized
effects with Armstrong's Custom-Craft design
elements. See page 8 for suggestions.
DOES HEAVY FURNITURE DENT LINOLEUM?
Although linoleum is resilient, heavy furniture
should always be supported on furniture rests of the
type recommended by Armstrong. These are sold
by most stores handling linoleum.
WHAT IS THE BEST WAY TO INSTALL LINOLEUM?
Over wood subfloors, linoleum should be cemented
to a layer of Armstrong's Lining Felt, which in turn
is pasted to the wood base. Where water is likely to
be spilled, the seams should be protected with
Armstrong's Waterproof Cement.
CAN LINOLEUM BE LAID OVER SUSPENDED CONCRETE OR METAL
FLOORS?
Yes. The use of Armstrong's Lining Felt over sus-
pended concrete subfloors is optional, but desirable.
ARMSTRONG'S LINOLEUM FLOORS
WILL MAKE YOUR FINEST [RUGS
EVEN MORE ATTRACTIVE
// you wonder whether rugs can be used with a
linoleum floor — be assured that it is perfectly
proper to do so. By choosing a linoleum floor
that is in harmonizing or contrasting colors, you
can make any good rug seem considerably more
attractive than is possible with other floorings.
WHY IS LINING FELT NECESSARY?
At different seasons of the year, floor boards expand
and contract. If the linoleum were cemented direct
to these boards, the movement might tear the
linoleum or cause it to buckle. Lining felt takes up
the movement of the boards and thus protects the
linoleum. It also makes the floor warmer, quieter,
and more comfortable underfoot.
CAN LINOLEUM BE LAID IN BASEMENTS— OR OVER WOOD OR
CONCRETE FLOORS THAT ARE IN DIRECT CONTACT WITH THE
GROUND ON GRADE?
Linoleum is not recommended because of the damp-
ness that is likely to be present in such floors. Arm-
strong's Asphalt Tile is the only type of resilient
flooring recommended for these areas.
WILL LINOLEUM CURL AT THE SEAMS AND WILL THE SEAMS BE
CONSPICUOUS?
Properly installed linoleum will not curl, and the
seams will be practically invisible. Because rolls of
linoleum are six feet wide and about ninety feet
long, few seams will be necessary when the material
is installed in a room of ordinary size.
SHOULD LINOLEUM FLOORS BE INSTALLED WITH BORDERS?
Borders are not essential but they are usually de-
sirable. To make the creation of simple borders
inexpensive, Armstrong offers ready-cut border
strips and Linostrips in several convenient sizes.
IS LINOLEUM A QUIET FLOORING?
Yes. A resilient linoleum floor is quieter under
impact and footsteps than hard flooring.
HOW SHOULD A LINOLEUM FLOOR BE FINISHED AT THE BASE-
BOARDS?
Any type of baseboard may be used ; but Armstrong's
Flash Type Cove and Base is recommended. This
device provides an attractive curved joining of the
floor and wall, thus preventing dust from collecting
and also making sweeping easier. It is offered in
colors to harmonize with linoleum and Linowall.
CAN LINOLEUM BE REMOVED AND REUSED?
Yes, if it is pasted over Armstrong's Lining Felt.
CAN I LAY LINOLEUM MYSELF?
We do not recommend it. Linoleum laying requires
skill and a large assortment of special tools. It is
more economical and more satisfactory to have the
work done by an experienced Armstrong merchant,
in accordance with standard Armstrong specifications.
[4]
LINOLEUM
CAN LINOLEUM BE BOUGHT DIRECT FROM ARMSTRONG?
No. Armstrongs Linoleum is sold through depart-
ment and furniture stores, by floor contractors, and
in specialty shops. For the names of local merchants,
write to Armstrong Cork Company, Floor Division,
Lancaster, Pa., or ask your architect or builder.
WHERE CAN MY ARCHITECT OR BUILDER FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
ARMSTRONG'S LINOLEUM?
Refer him to Sweet's Architectural Catalog or to the
Builder's Supplement of Home Owners Catalogs.
We shall also be glad to mail him additional in-
formation on any of our products.
1 LIKE LINOLEUM, BUT FOR FINANCIAL REASONS HAVE TO POST-
PONE BUYING IT FOR A FEW YEARS. ARE THERE ANY OTHER
ARMSTRONG FLOORS LOWER IN COST?
Armstrong offers Linoflor, and Quaker and Standard
Rugs and Floor Coverings, suitable where utmost
economy is essential, or for temporary installation.
Although these products are not linoleum, they are
smooth surface materials in attractive colors. Your
Armstrong dealer will be glad to show them to you.
LINOLEUM FLOORS SAVE HOURS
OF HOUSEWORK
Whether you do your own housework or employ
servants, an Armstrong's Linoleum Floor will mean
more time for other activities. If there are children or
pets in the house, you will find that the ease of
cleaning linoleum is a doubly welcome feature.
WHAT CARE DOES A LINOLEUM FLOOR REQUIRE?
I f a linoleum floor is kept properly waxed with Arm-
strong's Linogloss Wax, which requires no rubbing,
daily dusting will keep it clean and attractive for
months. Even in kitchens, a properly waxed linoleum
floor requires comparatively few washings.
When washing is necessary, Armstrong's Floor
Cleaner will make the work easier because it was
specially developed for cleaning linoleum safely and
quickly. If spilled things are wiped right up, the
number of washings can be considerably reduced.
By using Armstrong's Flash Type Cove and Base to
form a rounded joining of floors and walls, you can
prevent dust from collecting in corners.
DO LINOLEUM FLOORS HAVE TO BE REFINISHED?
No. Armstrong's Linoleum never requires scraping,
sanding, or other costly, troublesome refinishing.
CAN LINOLEUM BE USED AROUND TUBS, SINKS, AND OTHER FIX-
TURES WHERE WATER IS SPILLED?
Yes. Any seams at these points are made waterproof
when the linoleum is being installed. Spilled water
should be wiped up as quickly as possible, however.
IS LINOLEUM MORE SANITARY THAN BOARD FLOORS?
Yes. There are no open cracks to collect dust and
germs. The lining felt, the tightly cemented seams,
and the large unbroken areas of linoleum prevent
drafts from rooms below. (This is important where
children play on the floor.) Many scientists believe
that linoleum acts as a germicide ; and many prom-
inent hospitals are large users of linoleum floors.

PLAN NOW TO MAKE YOUR LINOLEUM
FLOORS MORE INTERESTING
WITH INSET DESIGNS
Any linoleum floor, or any wall covered with Arm-
strong's Linowall, can be made more attractive by
insetting it with Linosets— i. e., decorative designs cut
from harmonizing colors of linoleum.
Armstrong's Linosets, a few of which are shown here,
make it possible to use inset designs even where building
or remodeling budgets are extremely limited. Any one
of these or other handsome Linosets can be installed
quickly and inexpensively, by your linoleum merchant,
in new or existing linoleum floors or Linowall.
These designs were created by the Armstrong Bureau
of Interior Decoration, which for twenty years has been
planning distinctive custom-built linoleum floors for
architects, interior decorators, and home owners.
INSETS CAN BE MADE TO EXPRESS
YOUR INDIVIDUALITY
Below, you will notice a series of inset designs con-
sisting of simple elements— circles, scrolls, petals, and
rosettes— arranged in interesting combinations. If you
prefer a highly individualized floor, you can combine
these and other simple elements into a colorful design
that is entirely of your own creation. Your local lino-
leum merchant will gladly assist you in the preparation
of this design. There is a Custom-Craft linoleum floor
to fit every interior and every pocket book. Where
even more intricate linoleum designs are desired,
Armstrong merchants can supply them to order.
c -^-x^o-o-^u.
For instance, the linoleum in your reception hall
could be inset with your coat-of-arms or monogram.
In nurseries or playrooms, a clever idea is to have
silhouettes of interesting figures cut from different
colors of linoleum and inset in the floor or Linowall.
In bathrooms, floors or walls can be inset with sail-
boats, tropical fish, water lilies, mermaids, or other
nautical motifs. In upstairs recreation rooms, game-
board floors can be made from various colors of lino-
leum; in basements, from various colors of asphalt tile.
Typical linoleum inset. Field is eggplant; disc is deep
rose; scrolls, pearl gray.
Against pearl gray and fawn diamonds, rosettes are
white with dark gray centers.
Discs and petals form this inset. Colors are terra cotta,
white, and chartreuse.

PROVIDES PERMANENT WALL BEAUTY
AT A SUBSTANTIAL SAVING
With Linowall, you can have a permanent wall
covering that is soilproof and washable — at about
half the cost of hard tile, marble, and other permanent
materials. Linowall can be installed in almost any
color or multicolor combination that you desire,
either with or without the various kinds of inset de-
signs that are described on pages 8 and 12.
WHAT IS LINOWALL?
Linowall is a linoleum-like wall covering. It consists
of a smooth facing of inlaid composition securely
bonded to a strong, flexible fabric backing.
HOW LONG WILL LINOWALL LAST?
Linowall is a truly permanent wall covering. Unless
damaged by fire or harsh cleaners, or willfully
defaced, it never has to be replaced. It does not
crack or chip when bumped by furniture. It does
not "craze"; and it withstands moderate settling of
walls without cracking or buckling. No refinishing
is required to keep Linowall neat, attractive, and
in perfect condition for years of dependable service.
IS LINOWALL EASY TO CLEAN?
Since it is washable, Linowall is remarkably easy to
clean. Its special factory-finish sheds dirt and pre-
vents ordinary staining and spotting from oil,
grease, water, smoke, or ink. Finger marks, dust,
and cobwebs brush off easily. A cloth dampened
with water or mild soapsuds quickly makes Lino-
wall as clean and sanitary as new.
IS LINOWALL FADEPROOF?
Sunlight does not fade Linowall any more than it
affects linoleum. This is an important advantage,
considering that a Linowall installation lasts for years .
IS LINOWALL WATERPROOF AND SUITABLE FOR SHOWER STALLS,
LAUNDRIES, ETC.?
Linowall is moistureproof and is not affected by
steam. Seams also are waterproofed when the
Linowall is installed. Therefore, Linowall can be
used in shower stalls, kitchens, and laundries

WHY IS LINOWALL MORE DESIRABLE THAN OTHER TILE, MARBLE,
AND WOOD SUBSTITUTES?
The pleasing colors of Linowall extend clear through
the composition to the fabric backing. Linowall is
approximately 3ie" thick; whereas many tile and
marble substitutes have a surface finish consisting
of a film only a few thousandths of an inch thick.
Linowall, therefore, has more
in-built durability and retains
its original beauty indefinitely.
Costing only about half as much
as other permanent materials,
Linowall often makes it possible
to cover two rooms for what
one would cost otherwise. No
painting is required. Hence,
painting costs are eliminated.
IN HOW MANY COLORS IS LINOWALL
AVAILABLE?
Linowall is supplied in twenty-
two patterns. These include a
variety of colors and interesting
textures, including marbleized,
block, semi-plain, and wood
effects. A few of these are
illustrated in this book.
WHERE CAN LINOWALL BE USED?
Linowall is suitable for many
rooms in a home: kitchens,
baths, nurseries, living-rooms,
dining-rooms, bedrooms, recep-
tion halls, dens, recreation
rooms, and powder rooms.
IS; LINOWALL REALLY APPROPRIATE FOR
LIVING-ROOMS AND DINING-ROOMS?
applied over new or old plaster that is in sound
condition, as well as over certain types of wallboards.
MUST WALLS THAT ARE TO BE COVERED WITH LINOWALL BE OF
SPECIAL OR MORE EXPENSIVE CONSTRUCTION?
No. Linowall does not require a better wall than is
required by other coverings. Sound, dry plaster with
a smooth, well-bonded white
coat is all that is necessary.
With Armstrong s Linowall, smart
decorative insets like the one above
can be produced at moderate cost by
any good craftsman. This flexible,
resilient linoleum-like composition
can be inlaid or appliqued with
glass, metal, carved wood, or carved
linoleum designs.
Yes. From the wide assortment
of patterns, suitable effects are
easily selected for the most dignified rooms. The
wood designs (No. 735 Pine, No. 736 Walnut, and
No. 900 Knotty Pine) and also the burl grainings —
such as No. 737 Parchment and No. 738 Sage —
are particularly appropriate for such rooms.
WHY SHOULD I USE KNOTTY PINE LINOWALL INSTEAD OF REAL
WOOD THAT HAS BEEN ANTIQUED?
Knotty Pine Linowall has all the charm, softness
and depth of aged wood. There are no knots to become
loose, nor boards to open due to shrinkage. Linowall
can be installed more quickly than wood and without
removing plaster. Furthermore, when you see a
sample of Knotty Pine Linowall, you know that the
finished wall will be in exactly the same coloring.
This certainty is not always possible when new
knotty pine wood is antiqued to your order.
HOW IS LINOWALL INSTALLED?
Linowall is installed by cementing it to the wall sur-
face with Armstrong's Linowall Paste. It can be
CAN LINOWALL BE CURVED AROUND
INSIDE OR OUTSIDE CORNERS?
Yes. The flexibility of Linowall
permits it to be curved, without
seams, around inside or outside
corners. Curved corners are
decorative and easy to clean.
CAN LINOWALL BE INSTALLED IN BASE-
MENT LAUNDRIES OR GAME ROOMS?
Linowall should not be ce-
mented to basement wails that
are in direct contact with the
ground, but it may be applied
to a false wall erected against
furring strips, with space for
air to circulate behind it. If a
basement is damp, do not in-
stall Linowall before consulting
your architect or builder.
CAN LINOWALL BE INLAID WITH LINOSETS
OR SPECIAL DESIGNS?
Yes. Linowall can be inexpen-
sively inlaid with other colors
of Linowall, or with linoleum
Linostrips, and Custom-Craft
Linosets (see page 8). It can be
inset with coats-of-arms, mono-
grams, hand-carved plaques
of linoleum, wood, or metal; or it can be appliqued
with glass and metal. Armstrong's Bureau of Interior
Decoration will furnish you with other suggestions.
HOW CAN I BUY LINOWALL?
Linowall is sold and installed by department stores,
furniture stores, flooring contractors, and specialty
shops. Orders must be placed through these dealers.
Linowall is not sold direct to the user. For names of
local Linowall dealers, write to Armstrong Cork
Company, Floor Division, Lancaster, Pa.
WHERE CAN MY ARCHITECT OR BUILDER FIND OUT MORE ABOUT
INSTALLING LINOWALL?
Tell him that Linowall is described in Sweet's Archi-
tectural Catalog or in the Builder s'^Supplement of
Home Owners Catalogs. If you care to send us his
name and address, we shall be glad to furnish com-
plete specifications, samples, and other data.

YOU CAN CONVERT YOUR BASEMENT
INTO A FAMILY FUN CENTER
WITH ASPHALT TILE FLOORS
The first step in planning your
basement playroom is to find some
attractive but low-cost covering
for the hard, dusty concrete floor.
Because even the driest basements
are damp at times, materials like
linoleum, rubber, cork, or carpet-
ing are not recommended. Painting
the concrete is seldom satisfactory and still leaves
the floor cold and hard. Likewise a wood floor is
unsatisfactory and expensive.
In asphalt tile, however, many home owners have
found an inexpensive solution to this problem. The
following questions and answers will tell you why.
WHY IS ASPHALT TILE THE ONLY RESILIENT FLOORING YOU RECOM-
MEND FOR BASEMENTS?
The materials used in making asphalt tile are not
affected by dampness as are the materials in lino-
leum, cork, or rubber floorings. Therefore, asphalt
tile is the only type of resilient flooring that is
satisfactory for basements or other areas in direct
contact with the ground.
IS ASPHALT TILE EXPENSIVE?
No. It costs less than other resilient floorings. That
is, you not only get a more moisture-resistant floor,
but also a thicker one for the money.
CAN ASPHALT TILE BE BOUGHT WITH TIME PAYMENTS?
Yes, through the Armstrong Finance Plan. Your
Armstrong contractor will give you full details.
I HAVE SEEN FLOORS WITH GAME BOARDS PAINTED ON THEM.
CAN I DO THIS WITH ASPHALT TILE?
Do not paint the game boards on asphalt tile. In-
stead, have the pieces of tile laid so that the different
colors form the game board designs you want. A
built-in board of this kind never has to be refinished
because the colors run through the full thickness.
IS ASPHALT TILE FIRE-RESISTANT?
Yes. One of the materials used in it is asbestos.
WHAT ABOUT CIGARETTE BURNS?
Marks left by burning cigarettes or matches are
easily removed from asphalt tile by rubbing the sur-
face lightly with a fine grade of steel wool.
DOES THE CONCRETE HAVE TO BE LAID WITH A MEMBRANE WATER-
PROOFING IF ASPHALT TILE IS TO BE INSTALLED?
No. Any dry concrete floor is suitable for asphalt
tile if the concrete is not subject to hydrostatic
pressure or other factors causing excessive moisture.
CAN I USE ASPHALT TILE TO WATERPROOF MY BASEMENT?
No. Asphalt tile, while moisture-resistant, is not a
waterproofing and should not be used as such.
IS ASPHALT TILE A BASEMENT FLOORING ONLY?
No. It may be used in any
area of a house where an
attractive, low-cost flooring
is desired. In basementless
" California -type " homes,
where the concrete' slab is
in direct contact with the
ground, asphalt tile should
be used instead of linoleum.
WHERE CAN I GET HELP IN PLANNING MY ASPHALT TILE FLOOR?
Any Armstrong contractor handling our asphalt
tile will be glad to assist you ; or write to the Arm-
strong Bureau of Interior Decoration, Lancaster, Pa.
HOW SOON CAN ASPHALT TILE BE LAID OVER FRESHLY INSTALLED
CONCRETE?
The actual time varies. The important thing is to
have the concrete surface thoroughly dry. Roughly,
a month should be allowed for setting and drying of
new concrete if the basement is heated and well
ventilated; otherwise, wait longer.
IS ASPHALT TILE EASY TO KEEP CLEAN?
Yes. Dry-mopping and occasional washing and wax-
ing will keep it fresh and attractive for years.
IS ASPHALT TILE SMOOTH ENOUGH FOR DANCING OR SHUFFLE-
BOARD?
If asphalt tile is waxed, it forms an excellent floor for
dancing or shuffleboard. If, however, the room is to
be used for ping-pong or similar games, the asphalt
tile may be left unwaxed for steadier footing.
I HAVE SEEN ASPHALT TILE FLOORS BUT THE COLORS WERE DULL.
ARE YOURS ANY BETTER?
We'll leave that up to you,
but we predict that our
thirty-seven handsome plain
and marble colors will give
you a new respect for as-
phalt tile. As a bit of pre-
view, we show a few of these

How much do you care for your
children? Do you care enough
to make sure that the floor is
sufficiently warm so that they can
at any time play around on it?
If you do care that much, then
the friendly suggestions that fol-
low will mean a lot to you.
The friendly way
we will help you
with your Heatinq
IN the first place, let's forget all tech-
nical talk. Let's have no discussions
about "impinging fire surfaces" and all
that sort of silly lingo.
Let's just sort of sit down together, as
you would with one of your neighbors who
dropped in for an evening, and chat as you
then would if the talk turned to heating.
When you consider that for a large por-
tion of the year, so much of your home's
comfort depends on the heating, its impor-
tance among first considerations is obvious.
Vet so many actually leave it until the last.
You may get accustomed to the short-
comings of ineffective heating, but your
friends and guests don't. You may get over
grouching about your fuel bill, but the
cause is there just the same.
It is, year after year, costing you more
than it need. You are actually spending a
certain amount of your money for which
you get no returns. Which wouldn't you
say, is the same as throwing it away?
So don't compromise with your heating.
Skimp other places if you must, but have
your heating right, so you can have both
contentment of mind and comfort of body.
You will find this book is a friendly help.
Anything not covered that you want to know
about, don't hesitate to write us. You will
get a prompt answer. Furthermore you will
find us friendly, pleasant people. A point you
will appreciate.

Some iriendly suggestions
as to ways of keeping down
Heatina Costs
■ LLOW US TO SAY AT THE START,
that merely keeping down the cost
of your heating does not mean you
are keeping down heating costs.
Let us explain. The cost of your heating
is what the outfit costs complete to put in.
The heating cost, is what it cost to put in,
plus what it keeps on costing, day after day
to run it. Suggest reading that over.
Here is how it works. Generally speak-
ing the cost of the heating averages around
9 J / 2 percent of the total cost of your home.
If, however, to save a few dollars at the
start, by skimping a bit here and there on
size of your radiators ; or allow yourself to
be convinced that a smaller boiler will do
the work, than the figures show is needed,
your heating costs are always going to be
too high.
Not only too high, but you won't get the
heat comfort you want and have a right to
have. It means forever forcing and pushing
the boiler. When you do that, an excessive
amount of heat is sent up the chimney in-
stead of into your radiators.
Even if that heat didn't go up the chim-
ney, a radiator of a certain size can do only
so much heating in a given time. You can't
get a quart out of a pint bottle. So it all
means you must not only run your boiler
harder, but keep it burning full blast longer.
You may save a few first dollars in con-
senting to skimp your radiation or your
boiler, but you will pay for that saving over
and over, by the extra fuel you must burn,
and still not have the cosy comfort heat you
have a right to have. Such crowding of your
boiler also shortens its life.
So save your money and insure your con-
tentment by having plenty of radiation and
an ample size boiler. Don't let anybody talk
you out of it. Be firm on that.
It's funny the way some men have of blam-
ing their wives, for what they are to blame
themselves. They will insist on having all
the say about selecting the heating, and
then grouch to her if it isn't satisfactory,
Y
Now let's get Systems
Out of our System
|alk to most of your friends about how best to heat your
house and what happens? Some will mention this or that sys-
m tern. Others dwell on the fuel and talk the advantages of oil
over coal, and gas over oil. The next one you ask is "all het up" on the
advantages of having a stoker and using cheap fuel. And so it goes.
A surprising few seem to consider of much importance what goes
to make up one system, or another. Or the best boiler for your par-
ticular needs.
Of first importance to you, is what kind of an outfit is best adapted
to your needs and pocketbook. It is both the starting and the stopping
point so far as you are concerned.
Of course, for one reason or another, you may prefer steam over hot
water. But what you may like, doesn't prove it is the best for your
home, all things considered.
In any event, the heart of any heating system; and the efficiency of
burning any fuel, largely lies with the boiler. Therefore, start right,
right at the start, with the right boiler.
Naturally every boiler maker claims his is the best. But it is just
common sense that all of them can't be best. Some one of them, how-
ever, is the best one for your needs and pocketbook.
We believe it is a Burnham. We know there is a Burnham for every
need and pocketbook, and we know how effectively Burnhams give you
cosy comfort heat. We have been making Burnhams since 1873.
Then let's Systematically
look into the Systems
Chere are four main systems, the heart of which is a boiler.
Let's look into the points of each and see if we can't help you
to make a selection of the one system best adapted to your par-
ticular needs and pocketbook.
1. STEAM
Lowest in cost of installation. Quick to respond. Quick to heat. Costs
less than water because of one line, instead of two, of pipe that most
hot water systems require. Because of high temperature of steam,
radiators can be smaller than for water.
Steam's limitations are, that unless you have it equipped with the
right kind of venting valves on the mains and radiators, you won't get
a bit of heat until the water is at boiling point and steam pressure is
produced. Below that point you burn fuel without any return.
That's why so many steam heated homes, become so quickly chilly
when the heat is shut off. There is no hold over heat in the radiators.
2. VAPOR-STEAM COMBINATION
By this combination, we mean a one pipe steam system, the mains and
radiators of which are fully equipped with automatic air venting valves.
Not the usual kind, but Burnham's that not only let the air out, but
prevent its returning.
That means, the air pressure in the system will be so reduced, that
the boiling point of the water is lowered, and the hot vapor will circu-
late freely before there is any actual steam.
You get heat several degrees before the boiling point is reached.
With but a moderate fire, radiators will keep continuously hot.
These Burnham let-out-keep-out air valves, do cost a bit, but will
pay for themselves the first season in actual fuel saved. They are sure
enough your thrift friends.
3. VACUUM STEAM
This is sort of a glorified steam system, having both flow and return
pipes, as with hot water. It is equipped with special valves and steam
traps which preserve a partial vacuum in the entire system. Sometimes
on the larger installations vacuum pumps are used.
The boiling point of the w T ater, because of the reduced air pressure,
is greatly lowered, and the hot vapor circulates unhindered. Each
radiator is equipped with a handy valve, giving a graduated control
of the heat. Also a steam trap to keep heat in the radiators.
Its cost is higher than the other systems, but the convenience of
control, comfort assured, and fuel saved, some feel warrant it.
4. HOT WATER
The minute there is any heat in the water, that minute it starts circu-
lating, and you get heat from the radiators. It is a delightful low tem-
perature heat.
The ordinary gravity hot water system is a bit slow to respond. But
that can be successfully overcome by use of a noiseless, electric pump
which speeds up the circulation, making hot water heat practically as
flexible as steam. Because of the water averaging not above 1 80 degrees,
the radiators must be larger to give an equivalent heating surface to
that of steam at 212.
Each radiator has two pipes — one to bring the hot water from the
boiler to the radiators ; the other to take the cooled water back.
Of late however, there have been such great improvements made,
that now you can have automatic hot water heat, with only the one
pipe, same as for steam.
It's accomplished by using the circulator mentioned a moment ago.
In addition, every radiator is connected to a wizard like Venturi Fit-
ting. It's an odd looking little affair, that in a sort of magic noiseless
way, does the work of a pump. It speeds up the circulation of water
through each radiator. That means much quicker and more uniform
heating.
There's nothing about that Venturi Fitting to wear out. Has no
moving parts, springs or valves. Works on an old principle discovered
way back years ago, and now being applied extensively.
With our 40% less room taking Slenderized radiators, you can now
have hot water heat, taking no larger radiators than used to be used
for steam.
Bear in mind that this one pipe system is for use with automatic
heat, using oil, gas or stoker fired coal and thermostatically controlled.
5. UNIT AIR CONDITIONING
Any of these four systems can in a very simple, low-cost way, be made
a complete winter air conditioning system. It can be done just as
effectively with any existing radiator system as for a new one. You'll
find all you need to know about it on pages 16 and 17.

At
L
is point
Consider Automatic Heat
If s so well worth considerinq
This is the thermostat. You set it at
whatever temperature you want, and it
does the rest, Does it day and night.
Just set it, and forget it. But it will
never forget. Never goes to sleep.
j f for no other reason, than making sure of contentment
X, of mind and comfort of body, automatic heat is worth its
^^^™ price to you.
It certainly does effectually take the fuss and cuss out of heating
your home.
Perhaps a better name for it might be "Magic Heat", for it is
almost uncanny the way an innocent little box affair called a. ther-
mostat, conveniently located on the wall, can take the whole bother
of heat watching off your hands.
You set it at the temperature you want, and it does the rest.
Automatic heat is a positive success with gas, oil, or stoker-fired
coal. It costs no more in the end than other heats, that do so
much less for you. Costs no more, because you get so much more
24-hours-a-day comfort out of it.
Another thing distinctly in its favor, is that you can have all year
around hot water for your kitchen and bath from the one boiler.
Does away entirely with the need of a separate hot water heater.
It's an exclusive advantage however to be had only with radiator
heating. It's not possible with any warm air system.
Gas is the most completely automatic of all, because after the
supply pipe is connected, you give it no further thought.
Your oil distributors will fill oil tank and see that it is kept
full at all times, relieving you of even that one last bother.
In some sections, by using a stoker, you can save considerable on
your fuel costs, as it will burn a low cost coal.
As far as we are concerned, Burnham make boilers, each designed
to best burn any of the three fuels.
So again it simmers down, to selecting the fuel and the Burnham
which best meets your particular needs and pocketbook.
If you can, by all means put in some one of the three automatic
heats. You will then be assured of carefreeness and an absolute
contentment of mind and comfort of body.
Now let us look into
The Fuels
that are
the best for uou
T
GAS
Gas is the most fully automatic of all fuels. No bin or tank to fill.
No ashes. No odors. Where natural gas is available and in many
localities where there is a low gas rate for heating, the cost is not
at all excessive. After the pipes are connected you can forget every-
thing. The thermostat and other automatic devices do the rest.
OIL
So far as convenience and freedom from all care is concerned, oil
comes next to gas for automatic heating. All you need to remem-
ber, is to keep an eye on the oil supply. Even that, in some locali-
ties, is taken care of by the oil concerns. All standard makes of oil
burners are now so highly perfected, you can't go wrong on oil
heat. But it is important to have the right boiler. Our new all fuel
Yello-Jacket "that stings the fuel bill", gives a highly satisfactory
result with oil. See page 20 for description and illustrations of this
truly remarkable boiler. We have a catalog devoted especially to
this fuel stinging boiler. Send for it.
COAL
In some instances coal has it all over both gas and oil so far as
cost is concerned. But its bugaboo always was the necessity of
hand shoveling it into the boiler, and the temper-testing taking out
of the ashes. But the automatic stokers have now taken care of that
to the queen's taste. They automatically feed the coal to the fire
from either your bin or a hopper. The ashes are at the same time
deposited in dust-tight cans for easy removal. You can use a low
price fuel, generally making a considerable saving. With stoker firing
you can have automatic heating of your hot water supply, during
both summer and winter, the same as with gas or oil. The Burnham
coal boilers, because of their extra long fire travel, are highly satis-
factory with either hand or stoker firing. It's that long fire travel
that makes their short fuel bill.
As for the comparative cost of oil, gas and coal, you can readily
see all depends on conditions where you live.
A
Then arises that little-big question
of Radiators
Eappily for you the day is past when radiators
have to be ugly, stick-out-in-the-room objection-
ables. Made the Burnham Slenderized way, you
only feel the comfort they give and scarcely notice their
existence.
So narrow are they — Slenderized describes them —
that you can recess them between the uprights in the
wall and they will not be in the room at all.
The surprising thing is, that small as these slender-
ized radiators are (40% smaller) they actually heat
40% quicker.
Take this room pictured below. It used to have one
of those "mountains of iron" kind of radiators and
seldom was comfortable.
It was replaced by one of our Slenderized Radiators
of the same capacity, placed under the window between
two bookcases. Over it is a handy shelf. The woodwork
is natural color, shellac-finished, rubbed to a dull glow.
The radiator was painted with a thin wash of brown,
toning in perfectly. In the photograph naturally the
radiator shows up more than it actually does, because
we took it that way on purpose.
Here's something of greatest importance. The room
now not only heats perfectly but with a surprising quick-
ness. And another thing, these Slenderized Radiators of
ours give you both radiant and convected heat. An im-
portant thing if you want quick, economical results.
Here is one of the many sorts of things you can do with the Slenderized Radiator. How attractively it tucks
away under the window shelf. These radiators are made in various sizes and shapes "to fit places".
Left, What an eye-sore is
that wide ugly looking old-
time radiator in this care-
fully designed Colonial hall.
How conspicuous and en-
tirely "out of keeping".
Right, Finally the owner
revolted and "yanked out"
the old radiator, cut a re-
cess and put in one of the
new Burnham Slenderized
Radiators which is flush to
the face of the wall. Does
not stick out at all into the
hall. What a difference!
OPEN FRONT RECESSED RADIATOR
The Slenderized Radiator being only
4^ inches deep, a recess space can be
made between the studding under the
window, and the radiator set in it en-
tirely out of the way. So good looking
is this radiator, it is being used ex-
tensively without panel front or grille.
THE OLD AND THE NEW
The Slenderized one at the right is 40%
smaller, still it heats 40% quicker. Be-
sides it's more attractive in its chaste
design. And that's important.
RECESSED WITH RADIANT PANEL
FRONT
The Slenderized Radiator can be used
with the Burnham Radiant front panel.
The lower portion of the panel is en-
tirely open and the radiator itself acts
as the grille, giving off radiant heat.
The grille at the top gives you con-
vected heat, which is an ideal combina-
tion giving quicker heating results.
IT'S CONCLUSIVE
CU° ALL these things are what the new
j^ Burnham Slenderized Radiators will do
I for you. Although so much smaller, they
are far more efficient than the big ugly ones, that
are so utterly impossible in present day homes.
The new good-looking Burnhams cost practically
the same as the old ugly ones. Think of that.
Just a word more. The old-time radiators stick
out in the room 10 to 12 inches. The Burnham
Slenderized ones, no further than your forefinger
is long. And let us say again, that in a recess space
of \y 2 inches between the studding under your
windows, the Slenderized Radiator will fit in en-
tirely out of the way. Its front will be flush with
your walls. So finely designed and finished are
they, that you need no grille in front of them.
They are their own grilles. And another thing.
These Slenderized Radiators so recessed are highly
efficient. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise.
Above Photo
If you were not actually looking for the
radiator in this room, you just wouldn't
know it was there. When you did dis-
cover it, you would have the impression
not of a radiator, but an unobtrusive,
carefully designed grille. Such is what
can be accomplished with Burnham
Slenderized Radiators.
Photo at Left
This photo shows the way the old type
radiators stick out. This one in a bed
room is actually a foot deep, besides
setting out two inches from the wall.
That makes 14 inches into the room.
Yet it is no larger than the usual style
of radiator has to be. You would
scarcely have noticed it, if it had been a
Burnham Slenderized.
Why it's important to heat with Radiators
giving you Both Radiant and Convected Heat
.^2
Prove It Yourself
Just to prove to yourself that radiant heat travels
in straight lines and is not the least influenced by
drafts, try this experiment. Take an electric bowl-
type heater such as are so often used in bathrooms.
It gives off only radiant or straight-line heat. Now
about two feet away place an electric fan so that
the breeze will blow directly across the path of the
radiant heat from the bowl. Hold your hand as
shown above. You will find that no matter whether
the fan is going or not, you feel the same amount
of heat on your hand.
|sn't it so, that just because those
words convected and radiant
sound so sort of technical like,
that mostly folks haven't bothered to
know how important they are?
But they are important, and really
not at all technical. Here is just a plain
every day explanation of them.
Radiant Heat travels in straight
lines. For instance, the radiant heat
from a radiator does absolutely no heat-
ing of the air through which it passes.
It must first strike something like a
chair, table, the wall or yourself, and be
reflected before it does any heating.
Radiant heat rays are not affected by
drafts or air currents in the room. These
sun-like rays travel straight through.
It is exactly the same brand of heat that
the sun gives off. The air through which
it passes is not heated in the least. That
is proven by the fact that the higher you
get in the mountains, or away from the
earth in an aeroplane, the colder it is.
Naturally it would seem that being
nearer the sun it should be warmer. It
is because the sun's radiant rays heat
the earth only when they strike it and
are reflected back,
Convected Heat is entirely differ-
ent. Let's go back to the radiator for an
example. It gives off radiant heat in
straight lines. It also heats by convec-
tion. That means it directly heats the
air that comes in contact with and rubs
against the surface of the radiator.
CEILING
Both Heats at Work
This sketch shows you in red lines
how the radiant heat from a radiator
travels. The black lines show the ac-
tion of the convected heat. It is the
combination of them both, that makes
Burnham radiator heating systems so
much quicker and more economical
than any others.
The minute the air is heated, it starts
to rise in a more or less circulatory or
wavelike manner.
Because it first rises towards the ceil-
ing, not until the air up there is the
same temperature as the heat itself, does
it start coming down to do its job of
heating the lower parts of the room.
So you now at once see, that while
the radiant straight line heat from the
radiator has been warming up the walls
and lower parts of the room by reflec-
tion, the convected heat has been heat-
ing the upper parts by circulation.
Both finally come together. It is obvi-
ous that when you have the combina-
tion of both these heats, given off by
radiators, you get far quicker heating
results.
Warm air systems give you only con-
vected heat, which works from top of
room down.
Radiators heat from both the bottom
and the top, and meet in the middle, so
to speak. That's why they give you such
quick heating.
It's at the windows that the cold
air comes into a room. With radiators
you can locate them under the windows.
Then the cold air filtering in is heated
before it circulates in the room. That's
why with a Burnham radiator system
you can sit by a window with such con-
tented comfort.

Of next importance is HOT WATER
I
SEPARATE
EQUIPMENT
This is the separate
or independent hot
water supply with its
own boiler for heat-
ing the tank. It gen-
erally burns coal.
OUTSIDE TACO
Here the Taco hot
water heater is on the
outside of the boiler
and connected to both
it and the tank.
c
BURNHAM-TACO -TANK
BURNHAM TACO-TANK
Instead of the Taco heater being
connected on the outside of the
boiler, it is right on the inside of
the tank itself, with pipes coming
from the boiler to the Taco heater.
Gives particularly high efficiency.
TheTankless
opened up so
you can see
its insides.
BURNHAM TANKLESS TACO
TheTankless is filled with numerous copper coils, which
instantaneously heats the water as drawn direct from
it. No storage tank needed. Can be connected on outside
of any boiler. The Burnham Yello-Jacket Boiler is
shown with the tankless coils being slipped inside. It
was the first cast iron and the only small house boiler
to have a completely Biltin Tankless.
N
How to keep out of it
by Keeping in it
ext to poor coffee and cold soup, what is more exas-
perating than the failure to have enough hot water,
| when you want it? It has doubtless caused more grouch-
ing than anything else about "living home".
Of course, to have good coffee you must first start with enough
coffee ; you know that's just good sense.
By the same token, if you would make sure of having enough
hot water, you must first see that your supply source is large
enough. So don't skimp on it to save a dollar or two.
Then make doubly sure your way of heating it will do the job
you want done.
It is a funny thing, that important as hot water is in every
home, so many folks will, for instance, cut costs on the equipment
by cutting down on size of tank, or skimping on size of the heat-
ing part.
Cut down on the size of your pet closet, but whatever you
do, see to it you will have all the hot water you need. Not only
have it at certain times — but all the time.
Below are described the four different ways to make sure of
having it all the time.
1. INDEPENDENT HEATER
Have a Burnham hot water supply boiler connected directly to
the supply tank. It is surprising how little fuel they burn and
how much hot water they give,
2. OUTSIDE INDIRECT HEATER
This is a copper coil, enclosed in a cast iron casing, through
which the water from the boiler circulates. The coil portion is
directly connected to the supply tank, heating it. This Indirect
Heater can be connected to the outside of any boiler and it will
give highly satisfactory results. You can get these Taco Indirect
Heaters from us.
3. BURNHAM-TACO TANK
The copper coil heater and tank are combined in one. It is
connected directly to the boiler. One of the most economical
and satisfactory methods.
4. BURNHAM TANKLESS TACO HEATER
No storage tank is needed. The Taco instantaneously heats the
water as drawn. This Tankless can be attached to the outside
of any boiler. Our Yello-Jacket has it built inside. It's a direct
part of the boiler.
5. BURNHAM-TACO BILT-IN WATER HEATERS
Both our cast iron and steel Oil Boilers have Taco Heaters
built right into the Boiler for year 'round supply of piping hot
water for Bath, Kitchen, and Laundry.
6. BURNHAM-TACO HEADER HEATER
Is used with our Conversion Boilers for Summer-Winter Hot
Water. It is connected to all the sections just below the waterline
where the water is hottest. It is an ideal fix.

Just a Word About
the Oil Burning
STEEL BOILER
This photograph of the complete boiler
shows you the neat and trim lines of the
jacket. Pleasing, wouldn't you say?
We took one side of the jacket off
and cut open the boiler to get this
picture. Notice the two passes of
tubes, the copper coil, Taco Water
Heater located in the hottest place
at the top, also that the water in
the boiler extends clear under and
around the combustion chamber.
Eor those who prefer steel boil-
ers we have a specially designed
Steel Oil-Burning Boiler of the
efficient "Scotch Marine Type."
It is an unusually economical and
attractive boiler, completely welded
into one strong compact unit and en-
closed in a good-looking two-tone red
and grey jacket.
Everything is enclosed within the
jacket, even the oil burner itself, so
there is very little, if any, possibility of
anyone tampering with the controls.
Everything being enclosed, any slight
mechanical noises are hushed to an
almost inaudible whisper. Quiet opera-
tion is assured.
Because of the extra heavy layers of
insulation which surround the boiler,
very little heat is radiated through the
jacket — one of its distinct economy
features.
This Steel Boiler is designed for any
gun or pressure-type of oil burner you
may prefer. This is an added advantage
as it is possible for you to select an oil
burner sold and serviced by a local
dealer.
As is the case with our Cast Iron
Oil-Burning Boiler, the Steel Boiler is
furnished complete with a genuine
Built-in Taco Water Heater for year
'round domestic hot water supply. It is
also provided with and for all modern
safety devices to assure safe and de-
pendable operation.

Some Helpful Suggestions on Selecting
the Best Boiler for Burning Oil
Ehen oil burners were first being
perfected for home heating, the
leading concerns used Burnham
regular coal boilers practically exclu-
sively, for oil demonstration purposes.
They did it, because of both the
Burnham economy and their long fire
travel, which hushed so much of the
roaring noise of the flame.
In those days, there was no such
thing as a boiler designed exclusively to
burn oil. So all burners were attached
on the outside of the boiler.
There is no doubt about the very
definite fuel economy in our specially
designed De Luxe Oil Burning Burn-
ham Boiler. It is also attractive looking
with its smart jacket. There are certain
advantages in having everything built
in and out of sight.
Some, however, feel that if a time
should come when the cost of oil might
be such that they would save money by
going back to coal, they want to be able
to do it. And the point is a good one.
Many people instruct their heating
contractor, even though they intend
burning oil, to install a coal burning
boiler and keep the extra parts on hand
for use of coal any time they want to
change. It's a good idea.
You see, we are in an entirely un-
prejudiced position in the matter, as we
make both types of boilers. It doesn't
matter to us which you buy. So our main
interest is to help you get the boiler best
adapted to your particular needs and in-
dividual pocketbook.
We have a most interesting catalog
on the De Luxe Burnham Oil Burning
Boiler which we would be happy to send
you. We suggest your sending for it.
The Yello-Jacket boiler on pages 20
and 21 is adaptable to burning coal
oil or gas. It is easily converted from
one to the other.
On page 24 are some pertinent ques-
tions and answers on the things you
should know about heating with oil.
Suggest you carefully read them.
Everything about this Burnham De
Luxe Oil Burning Boiler is built in.
The jacket is as sleek and clean as
a greyhound. Even the Taco hot
water heater is built in. The jacket
is pleasing in design. Finished in a
two tone neutral grey.
How the BURNHAM AUTOMATIC HEAT
Furnishes you Hot Water both Winter and Summer
Built-in Taco
Hot Water Heater
As a direct part of our Oil
Boiler and built right into it is
a Taco coil for supplying your
kitchen, laundry and bathrooms
with hot water. It's located at
the hottest place in the boiler, in-
suring quick, economical heating.
ay automatic heat, we mean
Burnham Boilers burning gas,
oil or coal, that are automatically
controlled. It used to be that only gas
and oil fuels could be fully automatic.
But now that stokers have been perfected
for home heating, coal also can be auto-
matic.
One of the strong economy points and
great conveniences of Burnham automatic
heat, is that it furnishes you plenty of hot
water in the Summer, as well as in Win-
ter. Your boiler is never idle. This is the
way it is done.
For the Summer, the burner or the
stoker is controlled by an Aquastat. You
set it at say 180 degrees. Whenever
enough water is drawn from your hot
water supply to lower the temperature,
the Aquastat turns on the fire. Soon as
the water is again up to the temperature
you desire, off goes the fire. No needless
fuel is burned.
If for example, an extra number of
baths are being taken, and the water
should start coming just warm instead of
hot, then the Aquastat will see to its be-
ing hot again in a surprisingly short time.
"But," you say, "doesn't running the
boiler that way heat the house too? Isn't
there a waste of fuel?"
No, not at all. The Aquastat attends
to that. It never allows the water to get
hot enough at any time, to throw heat
into your radiators. Automatic control
valves on the mains prevent Summer-time
circulation of hot water through the radi-
ators. As for cost of fuel, it is but little,
if any more than other methods.
But supposing it did cost a bit more,
what of it, considering that you know
you will at all times, Summer and Win-
ter, have plenty of hot water. All the
time. Not just at times.

But you ask what of
Coal and Gas-Fired Boilers
for Automatic Heat?
Glad you asked that question, even though we have touched somewhat on it already.
But it is so important that just touching isn't enough. So let's go into it thoroughly.
Gas
ome feel that gas is the coming fuel. There isn't
a doubt of its being one of the cleanest, fully auto-
matic heats there is. In sections where the gas rate
is favorable, we recommend its use. Burnham has a worthy
gas-fired boiler designed specially for the purpose.
It's an interesting thing that this boiler shows in serv-
ice, an economy equalling that of the tests made at the
plant, conducted very naturally under favoring conditions.
One of the decided advantages of gas heating is its
absolute freedom from care. Once the boiler is installed
and connected to the gas, you need give it practically no
more attention than you do the water in your home. Like
it, it's always there to instantly turn on. No bother watch-
ing the coal bin supply, or amount of oil in the tank. No
fear of running out of fuel when snow may hold up truck
deliveries. No stopping of heat if the electric current sup-
ply should fail.
The great increase in home gas heating during recent
years shows plainly enough the rapidly increasing appre-
ciation of its care-free advantages.
This Burnham is of distinctly different design
than our other boilers. It is made to give you the
most possible return from the gas burned. You
may doubt our claiming an 8 to 10% economy
over other gas boilers, but we have the proofs
which you are most welcome to see. For a good
many years it has been making warm friends
because of the satisfactory way it heats homes.
Stoker-Fired Coal
Automatic or mechanical coal stokers have been used
for a long time for industrial boilers. And for a while the
makers certainly did have a lot of grief, when they tried
to cut down "papa's pants to fit Willie", so to speak, in
attempting to adopt those stokers for home heating boilers.
Happily for you, that's all a thing of the long past. The
present day stokers are quite wonders of ingenuity. They
are just as dependable as oil burners. Burn a low priced
coal, therefore are great fuel-cost savers.
Fuel can be either put in hopper by hand, or automatic-
ally fed from the bin. The ashes are mechanically deposited
in cans, doing away with the dust objection, not to men-
tion the work and the bother that hand shovelling means
See pages 25 and 26 for Questions and Answers
About Stokers and Gas Heating
No, stokers are not noisy. They are just as silent
as oil burners. They are entirely automatic, being
controlled by a thermostat exactly like an oil
burner. They will also give you all year around
hot water supply for kitchen and baths controlled
by an automatic Aquastat.

Attic Fan Cooler
Reduces Summer Temperature
In Your Home 6 to 8 Degrees
|t's the heat that accumulates in the attic and stays
dead in your rooms that holds back the after-
sundown cooling off of your home. Especially on
nights when there is little if any air stirring outside.
If then that dead, stored-up hot air that's in the attic
and hanging about your rooms, could be drawn out of your
house, and replaced by the cooler evening outside air, you
would have one of the simplest, most practical methods of
making your entire house agreeably comfortable.
That's exactly what the Burnham Attic Fan Cooler does.
Located in the attic, it draws the hot air out of the house
and removes the blanket of heat from the attic. Cool night
air is drawn in through open windows in the living and
sleeping quarters. Every room is filled with this cooling,
comforting air from outdoors. A fresh supply of this cool
air fills the house every minute or so. You can be sure it
does not take very long for the family to react to its com-
forting stimulation. On through the night this cooling
continues, giving rest and comfort to otherwise sleepless
tossings. All the walls, floors and ceilings, all the furniture,
is cooled far below the daytime temperature. As a result
of this night cooling, the house will remain pleasant
throughout the following day.
The Attic Fan Cooler comes to you complete, everything
is included for an easy quick installation.
INSTALLATION SIMPLE
The complete Fan Cooler with Attic Package equipment in-
cludes the special Burnham Strong-Pull Fan, the vent box or
duct with its flame-proof draft door, fan switch and ceiling
grille.
There's nothing the least complicated about installing this
Attic Cooler. Anyone the least mechanically minded can do it.
The hall ceiling grille has an ornamental trim, that com-
pletely covers the rough plaster edges left in cutting the
ceiling opening.
If you wish more detailed information, send for special folder
giving full particulars.
The complete Attic Cooler Package Equipment is made in
several sizes.
FOR FLAT ROOFS
If you have a flat roof and no attic, as is the case with many
of the Modern houses, we have an outfit that can be placed
right on the roof, and perform equally as effective.
FIRE STOP
The vent box is equipped with a flame-proof fire stop door.
It is connected with a fusible plug, which melts and tightly
closes the trap door and shuts off the fan, preventing all
drafts that might draw any fire from below into the attic.
This is the fan used in cooler and ventilator.
Portable Window Ventilator
It's amazing the cooling this high capacity Portable
Window Ventilator does. It lowers the temperature not
alone in the room where located, but has an effect on
the entire house, in the way it literally draws out the
hot inside air, and pulls in the cooler outside night air.
It can easily be moved from one location to another.
The rubber tipped legs are adjustable to fit different
height windows. Plug it into an electric light outlet
exactly like a floor lamp. That's all there is to it.
Cabinet is attractive in design and finely finished.
Grilles thoroughly protect fan, preventing harm to
draperies and humans. For different width windows we
furnish adjustable spacings for each side. Here at last
is a thoroughly practical, effective home cooler, the
first cost of which is reasonable and current consump-
tion decidedly low.
15
Here's how the air condition craft-made cabinet looks.
You can place it under a window or any other location
exactly like a radiator. It can be recessed if you like.
See the diagram on next page for how it works.
Hns is the filter with 2 months collection partly cleaned
off. It s easily removable for cleaning. You will be sur-
prised at the amount of dust, dirt and lint it takes out
of the air you breathe. To clean, simply put under the
faucet.
How To Air Condition Your Home
For The Least Cost
Helps Hay Fever
And Asthma
We are not so bold as to say our air condi-
tioner cures either of these troubles. But it
certainly is a decided help to such sufferers.
We don't say it filters out all the pollen or
dust in the air. But it does capture enough
of it, to cause great relief to many.
A
jNOTHER outstanding advantage of the Burnham Radiator system of heat-
ing, is that for comparatively little, you can have it air condition any
one or more rooms.
It has distinct advantages over other methods in its simplicity. Still it does
everything in winter air conditioning that the most elaborate systems do, and
costs less to do it. There is no space taking, complicated costly equipment in your
basement, requiring constant attention. No cutting of your floor or disfiguring
of walls, for grilles. No annoying recirculating of odors or disease germs from
one room to another, as is absolutely unavoidable with most systems.
Here is how simple this Burnham unit system is. In place of a radiator you use
our air conditioner. It takes up practically no more room than the usual radiator
grille enclosure. It fits right under your window. It can if you wish, be recessed.
The burl walnut finished cabinet, trimmed with velvet black and just the right
relieving touch of chromium, looks like a fine piece of furniture. You would never
guess the many things it does so noiselessly and effectively.
FIRST
It filter cleans the air from the dust that is in all rooms regardless of how
painstaking the housekeeping is.
SECOND
It warms the filter cleaned and sweetened air.
THIRD
It adds just the right healthy amount of moisture. Not so much as to
cloud the windows. But just enough to put back the natural moisture
heat takes out.
16
Here is the Conditioner recessed with its Burnham Panel Front. No trouble
at all to install. The center panel is removable for easy access to fan and
motor, exactly as with the regular cabinet. Furnished in prime coat for
finishing in harmony with your color scheme.
FOURTH
It forces the air into the room through a deflector grille, giving it a rapid
circulation, meaning quickened heating. The deflector grille throws the
filter cleaned, heated and humidified air into the room, at just the right
angle to prevent any one sitting by it getting heat blasts.
There is a thermostat which automatically controls it, turning the fan
on and off as needed. There's also an automatic current snap-on switch,
which prevents waste of electricity. The water in the humidifier does not
have to be put in by hand. It too automatically takes care of itself.
In the usual air conditioning systems you must have, and must pay for,
an elaborate and generally costly equipment sufficient to Condition every
room in your home, when all you may really want is, one or perhaps three
rooms. But with the Burnham Unit System, you Condition only the
rooms you want. That means saving money.
Here's another point in this Burnham method's favor. And it's a strong
point ! During the summer when heat is off, you can run the Conditioner
Fan to make your rooms comfortable, exactly as a regular fan is used.
The thermostat has a hand switch control for just that purpose. You'll
find it a great improvement over fans, as the air circulation is more general
and no spraying of air on anyone, endangering colds.
Here's still another important point, that of the installation. It's
simple. Requires no special engineer. Any steam fitter can do it.
Yet another advantage of this Burnham Conditioner is that you can
add it to your radiator system at any time; do it equally well on an old,
as a new radiator heating system of any kind. All of which are just the
high spots. But we have a special piece of printed matter that goes into
every essential phase of air conditioning. It's not at all technical. Just
simply told, quite like this chat together has been. Will be glad to send
it to you on request.
DIRECTIONAL GRILLE
How It Works
This sketch shows you how the fan driven
heated air, is drawn in through the filter at
the bottom and then thrown down on the
surface of the water in the humidifier, where
it picks up its natural content of moisture be-
fore it flows out the deflector grille into your
room. The deflectors are set at just the right
angle to throw the heat away from your
draperies and out into the room at a height
to give the quickest, most agreeable heating
results. It does not come out with a blast,
but just a gentle steady noiseless flow. You
get more and quicker heat from the Condi-
tioner than any radiator alone. It means fuel
economy. When the fan is off, no heat is
driven into the room. But there is a certain
amount coming into the humidifier chamber,
causing just enough moisture to be constantly
delivered into the room to preserve an agree-
able healthy condition.

You Ask Which Is Better
the Round or Square Boiler?
"My head may look
swelled. And it is. That's
because I'm built to do
steam heating as it ought
to be done."
>cru<
w
as the o
[either is better in the case of Burnhams. But
both do best the job they are built to do. So far
w as economy is concerned, one is just as heat thrifty
other. Sometimes one costs more than the other
and that often decides it. So let's look each of them in the
face and make them tell their own common sense story.
THE ROUND BOILER TALKS
| ou see it is like this. I am sort of a tea kettle
grown up. A tea kettle with long pants on, so to
m speak. Because I have always looked like a cross-
section between a kettle and the old dining room stove, a
lot of folks could understand me. They just put me down
as sort of a glorified stove with a tea kettle attachment,
that you could hook up to radiators and make everybody
heat happy.
"So I sprang into popularity over night. If I do say it
myself, there's a lot to be said in my favor. For the
moderate size house, you certainly would have a hard
time beating me.
"Of course, I have a lot of relations in the round boiler
family which I don't much take to. They are off-shoots of
the sturdy old Burnham stock under other names. They
have married out of their class and cheapened themselves,
i ou know what that means.
"They doll all up and put on the dog. But somehow
1 just can t feel sure of them.
"I give you the real blown-in-the-bottle-brand of Burn-
ham Cosy Comfort Heat. The heat from a pure blood
Burnham Round Boiler. Burns coal, gas or oil. I make a
powerful good showing automatically fired. In fact am
quite a general favorite with the oil burner folks. I am
a warm friend on whom you can unfailingly depend."
"Here I am with the
swelling out of my head
ready to do a specially
fine job of hot water
heating, the way it also
should be done."
"It isn't often I open up and
let folks in on the inside. But
sort of feel I can depend on
you. So here I am opened up.
Those wrinkles over the fire
greatly increase my fuel sav-
ing usefulness. But why go
into such details here."
"Now you are on the inside,
you might as well take a look
at my inmost innards'. Am
built in sort of layers or sec-
tions. Note how the hot gases
pass back and forth. It is
called fire-travel. Because my
fire-travel is so long, my coal
bills are short."
18
For Coed
This is the way I look
when all set for burn-
ing coal. My jacket is
the latest style and
lined with heavy insu-
lation to keep my heat
from going off in the
air instead of into the
radiators.
For All Fuels
I am the Yello-Jacket Burnham all
dolled up in a dandelion yellow jacket,
looking right smart and sassy like.
If you want to know all about me
turn to pages 20 and 21.
For Oil
When you want to use
me for oil my grates
are left out, fire-bricks
put in and the ash pit
door is changed to this
plate front with a hole
for the oil bu rner
nozzle.
The Burnham Square Boiler
Speaks Right Out In Meeting
)nsidering how the Burnham Round Boiler is my
full blood brother, it just wouldn't do for me to
say anything against him. Don't know that I
could anyway, he is such a dependable, straight-shooting,
sure-fire performer.
"But, as is the case with any two brothers, some like
one of us, and some the other. Admittedly, there was a time
when more liked him than liked me. But it is about even
now.
"You see he is built in layers — one on top of the other.
I am built in sections, one behind the other.
"In cases where the cellar ceiling is low, I have a way
of fitting in. Should additions be put on the home, an-
other section can be added to me, when there might not be
room for one on top of my round brother.
"So far as heat thriftiness is concerned, don't know as
it becomes me to brag a whole lot. Still there are folks
who simply wouldn't consider a round boiler. They like
my squarish shape fire box and the easy way my grates
shake. Some sizes have double grates, making it possible
to run half the fire in early fall and spring, when only
a little heat is needed. And all the grates when real win-
ter weather comes. There isn't a doubt I save them fuel.
"My fire travel is long. Goes three-times-back-and-forth
my full length, regardless of how many, or how few
sections I have. It is that long fire travel that makes my
short fuel bill, just as it does in the Round Burnham.
"Folks also like my swell clothes. My tailored jacket
I'd have you know, is of the latest cut. It fits right into
any dolled up cellar or recreation room, and unfailingly
does the Burnham family full credit."
The Saving Advantages
of a Conversion Burnham
here's another thing you should know about me,
that a lot of folks are keen for.
You see it's this way. Suppose you have a sort of
leaning towards burning oil. There are a goodly number
of things can be said in its favor. But always comes the
thought, suppose the cost of oil should some day be more
than coal, or if for any other reason I might want to use
coal, then what can I do with my oil burning boiler ?
You just can't do a thing about it, if your boiler is one
specially designed for oil, with a built-in burner. Only
thing to do, is buy an out-and-out new boiler, unless you
are lucky enough to have one of our Conversion Burnhams.
If you have, then by simply changing the base — not at all
a costly matter — you can change over to burning coal with-
out buying a new boiler.
When you use our Conversion Boiler for oil, the burner
is on the outside. Or with the Yello-Jacket we can furnish
an extension that encloses the oil burner.
If, however, you have a feeling you will never want to
change from oil, then by all means, use one of our special
Built-in Oil Burning Burnhams, told about on pages 12
and 13.
19
ITS GOOD LOOKS
When you see this Yello-Jacket boiler, it's so pleas-
ing, so attractive looking in every way, that you'll
have the impression of its being a piece of furniture
or a fine cabinet. And in a sense, it is both.
That combination of light dandelion yellow and
black, with just a touch of chromium, is certainly
something to conjure with.
This boiler happens to be equipped for oil burning.
It Stings
THE ALL-FUEL
Yello-Jacket
Burnham
For Hot Water or Steam
There are a lot of smiles
for every owner of this New
Yello-Jacket boiler because
of the way it stings the fuel
a bill. And when we say
stings, don't mean the honey
bee kind, that stings once,
leaving the stinger in the one sting, and then
dies. This boiler is a regular yellow jacket
that stings, and keeps right on stinging your
fuel bill year after year. You can burn any
kind of fuel in it, and the stinging will be
the same. It matters not whether it is coal,
oil or gas.
There's one thing you'll particularly like
about it, because it can save you future costs.
Suppose you decide to burn oil, and then
after a while, find coal is cheaper. Or for rea-
sons you prefer it to oil. If you had a boiler
that was designed only to burn oil, you
PLENTY OF LOW
COST HOT WATER
If you want your basement free from a hot
water supply storage tank, just say so, and
we 11 equip your Yello-Jacket with this
Tankless Taco instantaneous heater.
The boiler will come to you with the heater
right inside all ready to start doing its job
of supplying you plenty of hot water for
kitchen, bath or laundry.
If you prefer a storage tank, we'll equip
the boiler with a Taco heater to best keep
it hot water filled.
four Fuel Bill
couldn't use it for coal. You would have to
discard it and buy an out-and-out new boiler.
But not so with this Yello- Jacket. For
very little cost you can convert it for oil,
even to having an extension of the jacket to
enclose the oil burner. It's also just as easy
to shift from oil to coal any time.
Another outstanding point in its favor,
is that it will give you hot water for your
kitchen and bath for practically no cost.
But that isn't all. You don't even need a
storage tank. That's a saving in itself.
There's a Tankless Taco Heater built right
inside the boiler that heats the water in-
stantaneously as fast as you draw it. If,
however, you prefer having a storage tank,
then we furnish a biltin Taco to give you
hot water that way.
What I am about to mention may be a bit
technical, but it has so much to do with the
fuel bill stinging, it can't be left out. It's
about the combustion chamber. This Yello-
Jacket has two. It's the only all fuel cast
iron boiler that has these particular two.
Now the combustion chamber is the space
where the fire burns. That part of the boiler
in the combustion chamber, that's right over
the fire, is the most efficient, because it's
what is called "direct surface" and absorbs
the radiant heat.
This Yello- Jacket's combustion chamber
extends not only over the fire, but also right
through the center of the boiler, from cellar
to garret, so to speak. The fire shines di-
rectly on all that surface, and where the
fire shines, the most heat from the flames
is absorbed.
No other cast iron boiler so far as we
know, has this double combustion chamber
feature. No other has as much direct fire
shine surface.
Hope we have made it clear, because it's
a most important feature. Besides which,
there are many other economy features, but
we won't tire you with them.
Do want, however, to say a word about
the jacket. It's so pleasing in design and so
thoroughly well made, that it scarce looks
like a boiler, but a fine piece of cabinet work.
The color is a most attractive light dande-
lion yellow, that harmonizes with practically
any color. The enamel is double coated,
twice baked. The jacket is heavily insulated
so there is practically no loss heat.
Here then, is the last word in boilers. One
that we are fully warranted in saying, is by
far the best all around, all-fuel-boiler, your
money can buy, barring none.
THAT DOUBLE
COMBUSTION CHAMBER
Perhaps you can get the best idea of
what the double combustion chamber
is by our taking a section of the
boiler and showing the fire. In all
other cast iron boilers the direct fire-
shine-fire, is only on the surfaces di-
rectly over the fire.
Note how here they are not only those
over the fire, but all the way to the top.
It's one of the big reasons for the way
this Yello- Jacket boiler stings the fuel
bill.
LOCATION
OF HOT WATER HEATER
Here is the boiler before the jacket was put
on, and showing the Taco Heater being
slipped in place, inside the boiler. Its location
is at a point where the boiler water itself is
the hottest.
It insures not only quick heating, but an
ample supply of low cost hot water from your
taps or faucets.
JACKET EXTENSION
IS REMOVABLE
The jacket extension easily lifts off and on. In fact
it has a convenient handle on each side for just that
purpose.
Just another of the many so called "little points",
that have been given true Burnham consideration.
£l
JACKET EXTENSION
ENCLOSING THE OIL BURNER
You don't have to enclose the burner. But it
does make a more attractive looking job.
Besides, it protects the burner from the chil-
dren or any busybody tinkerer.

The Junior Yello-Jacket is so good
looking in every way that it just don't
look like a boiler. It's more like a fine
piece of colorful cabinet work, which
in a way is exactly what it is.
Here's one of the three sections that go to
make up the boiler. Note how long the sides
or legs are. That's because those legs make
the base as well as the combustion chamber.
Cuts down the cost of set up. Gives an addi-
tional economy, as every part of the boiler
excepting the bottom, is completely water sur-
rounded — another economy point.
The New Burnham Junior Yello-Jacket
Designed Especially For Small Homes
Eou know there is a fellow they call "Old Man
Diminishing Ratio". He's a bothersome sort who
causes a lot of trouble.
Here's how he works. Suppose for example you have a
small table that just suits you in every way. It's so satis-
factory you decide to have a larger one made following
the proportions exactly.
By all that's reasonable it should be just as good looking
as the other. But it somehow looks funny, seems out of
proportion. That's where Old Man Diminishing Ratio
comes in. He works both up and down.
Now from the down side let's take a boiler. A fair sized
one for instance that performs satisfactorily in every way.
By all that's reasonable its satisfactory performance should
continue in a small size for Small Home Heating. But it
just doesn't work that way. The Old Man steps in and
makes trouble.
So that's why we have made this especially designed
Burnham Junior Yello-Jacket just for Small Home
Heating.
Of course it has many of the features of our other
boilers. But it isnot a case of papa's pants being cut down
to fit Willie. It's an out and out new boiler made out of
whole cloth, so to speak.
It's made to do the most economical job possible, of
22
heating Small Homes. Ones having four, five or even six
rooms. It's moderate in cost as it should be. It has the
same fuel stinging economy of the Yello-Jacket Boiler told
about on pages 20 and 21.
It has a Biltin Taco Tankless hot water supply heater
for both kitchen and laundry. Gives you plenty of hot
water in the most economical possible way. No storage
tank needed. Or a Biltin Storage Type Taco Heater can
be furnished.
Because the light dandelion yellow finish and design of
the jacket has made such a hit, this Burnham has one like
it. It also has the same front porch, or removable jacket
extension for covering the burner when using oil. There is
however no separate base. The boiler proper and base are
all in one piece, making the whole boiler water surrounded,
which is an economy feature of itself, especially when
burning oil.
It also cuts down installation costs as the boiler is
shipped all set up, ready to put right on the floor and
connect up, quite like a refrigerator comes to you. The
only difference is the jacket has to be put on, which takes
no time at all it goes on so easily.
Here then is as perfect a boiler for Small Home Heating
as your money can buy. One in which Old Man Diminish-
ing Ratio has been given the loud laugh.
How Burnham Air Valves Save You Money
Burnham No. B2
Chromium plated
Adjustable
Radiator Valve
It quickly lets the air out
and then closes tight so
it can't sneak back in,
when the radiators cool
down.
TAT " 1:T,I1 ' R you'll admit it or not, air is radiator heat's big-
W Liest enemy. It is the fighting out of the old law that two
I things cannot occupy the same space at the same time.
If there is air in your radiators, the steam will do its best to push
it out. If there is no vent place, then it will try to compress it —
and the battle is on. Sometimes you hear the struggle, in disagree-
able knockings and hangings.
Often it results in only a portion of your radiators heating. Or,
if you have air venting valves that are not any too good, the air may
be let out so gingerly that the slow creeping across of the heat makes
you disgusted with the whole heating system.
You may be burning plenty of fuel and still getting only stingy
heat. So see to it that each one of your radiators is equipped with
Burnham dependable air valves.
One kind lets the air out, but soon as the heat dies down a bit,
lets it creep back in. Most valves, sorry to say, are that way.
By far the better way is to use the Burnham Valve that both lets
the air out and then keeps it out. They cost more, because obviously
they are worth more.
It is a smart idea to also vent the mains. That means they are at
once freed so the steam can quickly get to your radiators. The air
that would otherwise be pushed into the radiators, is let out before
reaching them.
Some folks cut costs on their heating by using cheap valves that
soon clog up and cease to function.
Burnham valves are chromium plated, and when rightly installed,
are unconditionally guaranteed for one year. So see to it that you
get Burnhams.
Burnham Air Valves are available in the
adjustable or non-adjustable types.

ABOUT HEATING IN GENERAL
Which costs less to install, Hot Water or Steam?
Steam costs less.
Hot Water costs more because with the natural flow,
or gravity system, the radiators have to be larger
and double the piping is necessary.
Why does hot water require large radiators and
twice the piping of steam?
With steam, the one pipe carries both the steam from
the boiler to the radiators, and the condensation from
the radiators back to the boiler. With hot water, the
entire system is filled with water, and in order to keep
in constant circulation must have the same size pipes
leading from the radiators to the boiler, as from boiler
to radiators.
The radiators have to be much larger because hot
water seldom gets much above 180 degrees and aver-
ages about 140; while steam is always at least 212
degrees.
To get the same result from hot water as steam, you
23
therefore, must have a larger radiator to make up
the difference of from about 40 to 70 degrees.
3. Do I always have to have Two Pipes on Hot
Water System?
No you don't.
There is the one pipe Venturi automatic system for
oil, gas or stoker fired coal, which we heartily recom-
mend.
A one pipe circuit is made practical by using a cir-
culator to increase the flow speed of the water through
the radiators and back to the boiler. In addition, there
is a Venturi-One fitting connected to each radiator,
which in turn, automatically pulls the water through
the radiators faster. It's all thermostatically controlled.
4. Which burns the least coal, hot water or steam?
Some claim there is very little difference in the coal
you burn. But hot water has an advantage in the way
the latent heat in the water keeps right on heating a
considerable time after shutting the fire entirely off.
When you start the fire you do not have to run the
water up to practically boiling point before you get
any returns, as with steam.
Hot water begins heating as soon as there is enough
heat in it to make the water circulate. Just logically
it should save fuel.
5. Can I enlarge a Burnham if we should later on
decide to enlarge our house, or must I either
buy too big a boiler now, or get an entirely new
one then?
Most assuredly you can add to a Burnham as you add
to your home. It's built in sections, quite like a sectional
book case.
It's one of the strong points in practically all Burnhams.
6. How does Vapor or Vacuum system differ from
steam or hot water?
By the use of specially constructed valves, a partial
vacuum is created in the pipes and radiators which
lowers the boiling point of the water, allowing a hot
vapor to enter the pipes several degrees before the
boiling point of the water is reached.
The condensation is returned to the boiler by separate
small pipes, insuring absolutely no interference with
the passage of the vapor.
The partial vacuum created, holds the heat, and the
valves prevent the air from returning to the system.
Therefore, the radiators hold the heat longer than
steam radiators.
The radiators are about the same size as for steam. In
effect, you get approximately the same even tempera-
ture and economical results as with hot water, with
rather more flexibility. Vacuum Systems cost approxi-
mately the same as hot water.
7. Is there some way of having hot water for kitchen
and bath without a separate boiler?
Yes indeed there is. You can connect a Taco hot water
heater to your boiler, which will heat the water in a
storage tank. Or you can do away with a tank by
using a Tankless Taco Heater which is also connected
to the outside of boiler. It heats the water instan
taneously, as drawn from the taps.
Happily for you, practically all Burnham boilers have
a Taco Heater built right inside them, out of sight
and out of the way. They are a direct part of the
boiler and highly efficient.
8. Which is better the round or square boiler?
Glad you asked that question. It's important. Just turn
to page 18.
9. Do we have to buy a Burnham direct from your
boiler plants?
Not at all.
All heating men know about Burnhams, even if they
may not have them in stock.
You can buy direct from them, and they will order it
from us.
Should there not be a heating man in your town, will
be glad to have you write to us direct, and we will put
you in touch with one.
If you are building or remodeling, and employing an
architect, see to it that he specifies a Burnham in your
heating specifications.
To insure prompt deliveries we have a stock of boilers
in fifty main distributing centers.
10. If I buy a Burnham can we be sure of always
getting parts?
Just as sure as you can of any boiler.
We have been making boilers for over 70 years and
never failed anyone yet.
I.
Questions about OIL HEAT
Do I have to have special radiators or piping for
oil heating?
Most assuredly not. The same radiators, the same
piping used for any hot water, steam or vacuum system,
are used. However, before you decide on the kind of
radiators, be sure and give careful consideration to
the Burnham Slenderized ones, as told about on paees
8 and 9. r &
Do I have to buy an out-and-out oil burning
boiler? Can't I use an oil burner with mv nrespnt
boiler?
use an oil burner with my present
Of course you can, and often with satisfactory results.
But so much depends on the type of boiler you may
have. All Burnham Boilers because of their particular
design, give fine results with the attached burners.
But the special Burnham Oil Burning Boiler has cer-
tain built-in features and automatic controls which
you may feel are a distinct advantage.
How about the oil tanks, must I dig a big hole
in my yard and a ditch for the pipes from it
to the burner?
Not at all. Most States now permit the placing of
tanks inside, near the boiler. It is always good to have
an ample size tank so you have enough oil in reserve
in case of emergencies.
How about the comparative economy of auto-
matic oil as against hand-firing of coal?
Put it up to your local man. He can give you definite
figures. But here's a point you should bear in mind.
The burning of oil is entirely automatic. No coal to
24
shovel. No ashes to be taken care of. Your rooms need
never get chilly because of the fire "going down" and
having to wait for it to "come up," as it's called. Prac-
tically the instant the oil burner goes on, a full volume
of heat is produced. You can have your house warmed
the same at night as during the day at very little, if
any, additional cost. That's because it costs less to keep
a uniform temperature, than to let it down during the
night and then have to overcome all that accumulated
cold by running the fire harder and longer.
So even if you are located where coal may be somewhat
cheaper, the comfort and practically entire freedom
from attention required by oil, over-shadows any
variance in cost.
5. How about noise?
By noise you, of course, mean the burner. As for the
mechanism of the burner itself — the electric driven
fan mainly — that has been so perfected it is of no
consequence. It is the noise of the burning flame that
could be the most disturbing. But that is largely a thing
of the past. With our De Luxe boiler everything is
built into the Boiler. Everything, burner and all, is en-
closed inside the jacket. The burner chamber is lined
with a sound deadening material. Even the door. You
can rest assured that any burner you may put in this
sound-hushed DeLuxe Burnham will be so quiet you
and your guests will never know when it is either on
or off.
6. Is there any danger of something happening and
the oil leaking out all over the place?
How about your water system, are you afraid of that
happening? Would you go without piped water
through your house, just because now and again a
leak happens? With the valving and automatic con-
trols now used there is no more danger with the oil
than the water. In fact less, because the oil isn't under
any pressure at all until it reaches the flame nozzle
that is inside the combustion chamber or fire box.
7. Suppose anything happens to the insides of the
Burnham Oil Boiler, how can anyone get inside
the jacket to fix it?
Well, before the jacket is put on, the boiler and all
the connections are first made. The jacket is no more
than your overcoat is to you. If anything, it's easier
to take your coat off than put it on. There's your
answer about the Burnham jacket.
Is there any odor?
Not in the least, if the installation is right and the
burner is kept reasonably clean. The first you would
insist on anyway. The other you would see was done
just because it is common sense. Besides, every once
in a while there is a gas from coal. But you never
heard of anyone going back to wood, just for that
chance occurrence, did you?
9. How about the dirt? Is oil heat clean?
There's no smoke, no ashes, the fire that burns up
everything.
10. How about the jacket on the Burnham Oil
Boiler, does it give as good an insulation as the
asbestos cement applied directly to the boiler?
Better. Far better. That's proven by the coolness of the
jacket. You can put your hand on it at any time. The
Burnham jacket is heavily lined with a combination
of insulating and sound deadening materials. So vou
see, it is something more than mere looks back of the
way Burnham jackets a boiler. It adds to looks, lessens
noise, and it also spells economy.
11. Suppose I have trouble with the boiler, who is
going to make it right?
Go to the dealer you bought it from. If it's his fault,
he will make good. If it's our fault he will take it up
with us and you can depend on our being only too
glad to see it's made right. We want our Burnham
users satisfied. It isn't just being pleasant on our part.
It's good business. Pleasant dealings and good busi-
ness, happily make the best of teams.
12. Where can I buy a Burnham Oil Burning Boiler?
We don't sell direct. That is, from our factory direct
to you. They must come through some dealer or con-
tractor. If you don't happen to know any such in your
section, just let us know and we will arrange all that
for you.
It is distinctly to your advantage to have your heating
boiler installed by an experienced dealer, who is
handy by, and can give your burner prompt servicing.
Questions on STOKER FIRING
2.
Having concluded I want automatic heat, how
shall I go about deciding whether to make it oil
or stoker fired coal?
Well, that's not such a problem. One thing sure, how-
ever, if you ask your friends who have oil, they can't
sing its praises enough. In turn, the same song of com-
plete satisfaction will be sung by the stokerites. So
why not ask us all the questions that are on your mind,
and we will try to answer every one of them.
All right then, what I first want to know is the
comparative cost of each.
In the last few years as the number of oil burners sold
have increased, so has their cost decreased. The per-
fecting of stokers has been slower, and sales accord-
ingly, so that in general, they have cost more. But they
don't cost any more in the long run. Just why, have a
notion some of your other questions will fully bring
out.
Will a stoker save me money?
Yes, it will. If you have been burning coal, hand-firing
it, there will be a decided saving. For example, take
the usual size of Anthracite used in boilers. Its cost
varies from $12 to around $14.50 a ton anywhere
within say 500 miles of New York. With a stoker you
can burn a fine grade coal costing from 6 to 9 dollars
a ton delivered. Don't know how many rooms your
house has, or is to have, but let's say it requires 10 tons
to heat it with hand-firing size coal. At $12 that would
be $120. At $14.50 it would be $145. With the stoker it
would cost from 60 to 90 dollars, A saving of from 55
to 60 dollars. Suppose, therefore, the first cost of the
25
stoker is more than an oil burner, the saving on cost
of fuel soon overcomes all that, and still you keep on
saving that 55 to 60 dollars, year by year. Of course
there is the cost of electricity to run them same as
with oil burners. But that's a small item.
4. But, you ask, isn't Oil cheaper than Coal?
Well, its average cost is just about the same as An-
thracite at $12 to $14.50 a ton, depending on the
locality.
How about the electricity used? Does a stoker
take more?
No, it really doesn't. But supposing it did, you have
that large saving on fuel cost to many times offset it.
So that possible objection is out.
What about the nuisance of ashes with stoker-
fired boilers?
Frankly, that is the only possible objection to stokers.
But after all, isn't it a rather over-emphasized one?
Present day stokers automatically remove the ashes
from the boiler and dustlessly deposit them in cans. It
is no longer a messy, dusty job. Just remove the filled
can and replace with an empty one. Sort of like setting
out the milk bottles.
Some of my friends tell me a stoker takes up more
room.
Yes, they do. That is to say thev do, if vou are com-
paring an oil burner that is Built-in the boiler—a
direct part of it. Of course, then the whole outfit is
only as big as the boiler itself. However, if you com-
pare a Conversion boiler, one with the burner on the
outside, then the new designed stokers take up but
little more room.
8. What about the work of filling the stoker hopper?
You don't need to. Present day stokers automatically
bring the coal direct from your bin to the boiler. Fill
the bin and the stoker does the rest. This automatic
feature does add a bit to the first cost of the stoker. So
if you are figuring your first cost with a very sharp
pencil, then why not have the hand-filled hopper? No
trick to do it. It's a lad's job, in fact. Fill it every 24
hours during the Winter, and every 3 or 4 days in the
warmer months. That is, if you intend to use your
boiler to furnish all year round hot water, as so many
have found the advantage of doing.
9. Does a stoker need more servicing than an oil
burner?
No, it doesn't. A stoker requires no more attention than
your ice box. Most stoker concerns have a yearly in-
spection service, which includes vacuum cleaning your
boiler, going over the stoker, oiling and putting it in
apple-pie order. It's well worth its nominal yearly cost.
In some places the coal companies selling stokers, so
we understand, do this once a year servicing free,
10. What happens if the electric current goes off?
Exactly the same thing as happens with an oil burner,
or your electric refrigerator. It stops. But with a stoker
the bed of coals will hold fire for 3 or 4 hours. You can
also burn wood to tide over the interval.
11. There's one more question nearly forgot. How
about the noise?
There's practically no more noise with present day
perfected stokers, than with an oil burner or an ice box.
So now that you have asked all the questions you could
dig up, let us remind you of this. We make all kinds
of boilers for every place and purpose. Cast iron ones.
Steel ones. Gas burning boilers. Boilers for oil, coal or
coke. For more than half a century we have been mak-
ing boilers. So doesn't it look to you as if we ought to
know how best to make them?
Questions on Gas
Do you think gas is the coming fuel? There seems
to be a lot of talk about it.
Frankly now, we don't claim to be any prophet. But
one thing sure, it is fast on the gain.
2. What has started all the talk about using gas for
home heating?
Well, in the first place, it is entirely automatic. Just
as much so as the water in your bathroom. No filling of
bins or tanks. No ashes. No odor, No bother. No noise.
Simply a case of connecting up the pipe, and there the
gas is, always ready for use at any time,
3. What is meant by its being entirely automatic?
Mostly it means, there are no bothers. Not only is the
fuel supplied automatically, but the whole control of
its burning and the amount of heat in your home is
under full automatic control.
4. Do gas boilers cost more than coal or oil boilers?
Gas boilers cost more than coal boilers because of
their automatic controls, but cost less than a boiler-
burner unit.
5. How about the cost of running them?
Glad you asked that question. The answer is, if you
are in a section where there is natural gas, they gen-
erally cost less to run than with anthracite coal or oil.
Bituminous coal is of course somewhat less costly than
natural gas. The gas companies pretty much all over
the country are making very attractive new rates for
home heating. This makes it possible for many a one
to use gas to whom the cost was prohibitive before-
6. Suppose it should cost somewhat more, is it worth
it?
Don't know as we can exactly say what a thing is
worth to you. So let us in turn ask you a question. Is it
worth something to you to have an entirely botherless
heat? One the fuel supply for which is always there.
One that is entirely automatic in every way. One that
has a pay-after-you use advantage. One that is always
on tap so to speak, at any time of the year, for as little
or as much heat as you need. Also remember that
24-hour free service is available from your Gas Com-
pany should it ever be necessary. Assured comfort,
entire convenience and a total freedom from care—
don't you feel all these are worth something to you?
So far as we are concerned, our company makes boilers
for all kinds of fuel, putting us in an unprejudiced
position. So we have tried to answer all your questions
with absolute frankness.

Questions on Air Conditioning
year
1. Is the Burnham Air Conditioner an i
around one, doing cooling in summer?
Yes and no.
It is strictly speaking a winter air conditioning sys-
tem, the time when conditioning is most needed for
health and real comfort reasons.
Although it is equipped with no cooling device, how-
ever, it does circulate the dead summer air after the
manner of an electric fan.
There is no draft, no danger of cold taking. All the
air in the room is evenly circulated, not just pushed
from one place to another.
2. Does it help asthma and hay fever?
Most emphatically it does.
The washable glass wool filter captures the pollen
to a high degree, alleviating and in some cases giving
entire relief.
3. Does it do a complete winter air conditioning job
without the use of ducts, registers or grilles?
Most assuredly it does. Anything and everything that
any duct system does, the Burnham does, only in a
simpler way at far less cost.
It has the added advantage of individual room con-
trol. But still that isn't all, you have both radiant and
converted heat in rightly balanced proportions. A very
essential point for your comfort and heating economy.
4. How is the humidity controlled?
The reason humidity is so vital in the winter, is be-
cause the heating dries the moisture out of the air.
That conditioner therefore is the best, which puts
back just the natural amount that the heat dries out,
restoring a healthful balance.
That's exactly what the Burnham does. But it does
not keep on adding additional moisture beyond that
restored balance. Systems that do that, are apt to
cause excessive moisture, causing clouding of win-
dows, which not infrequently means that moisture runs
down on the sill.
5. What equipment do I have to have in my
basement?
Absolutely none. No ducts. No fans, no anything but
just a Burnham Boiler, and the usual pipe to the
radiators. The air conditioner is in form of a radiator
that heats besides air conditioning. It's located upstairs
in the rooms.
6. How much room does the Burnham Conditioner
take up?
Practically no more than the usual grille enclosed
radiator.
It fits under any average window. Can be partially
or entirely recessed exactly like a radiator.
7. Do the Conditioners do any heating?
Most emphatically yes.
Exactly the same as any radiator,
8. Does it circulate odors and disease germs as duct
systems are said to do?
All duct systems recirculate air from the entire house.
Odors and germs along with it. There is no way to
prevent it.
The Burnham with its separate conditioners, instead
of a central method of distribution, permits of isolat-
ing any room, and still not in the least effecting the
heating efficiency of the system.
9. Of what does a complete Burnham Heating and
Air Conditioning System consist?
First there's the boiler and Burnham Slenderized radi-
ators for steam, hot water or vapor. With automatic
stoker, oil or gas fuel, the boiler can take care of your
hot water for kitchen and bath.
No separate hot water supply boiler needed.
The only difference from a regular radiator heating
system is that in place of some radiators, a conditioner
is used, which does both heating and air conditioning.
10. How many Unit Air Conditioners do I need?
The only rooms in which air conditioning is primarily
needed is the living room, or dining room and possibly
the master's bed room.
11. Is a Conditioner necessary in a bed room, where
the windows are generally open when used for
sleeping?
If the user has pollen asthma or hay fever, the out-
side air can then be introduced solely through the
conditioner, taking out the pollen and giving decided
relief.
12. Do I have to look after the Conditioner, turning
it on or off or filling it with water?
Not at all. Everything is automatic. Each Unit is
controlled by its own separate thermostat. Or it can
be operated by your regular thermostat the same as
your radiators are. For summer use in circulating the
air, there is however a hand switch for the fan.
13. Must I put in an entire new Burnham heating
system to get the advantage of the Burnham Air
Conditioners?
No indeed. One or more can be used in connection
with any existing radiator heating. All you do is
simply replace a radiator with the conditioner.
The same piping that does for one, does for the other.
No cutting of walls or floors for grilles or registers.
No ducts to be installed. Any heating men can install
a Burnham Air Conditioning Unit in a few hours.

For the improvement in many building ma-
terials has been extraordinary in the past few
years, particularly in the manner in which
they affect comfort, permanence and low
upkeep.
Quietly, in the secrecy of the research
laboratory, Carey scientists have been devel-
oping new and improved building materials.
Some of these modern Carey materials add
new comforts — comforts and economies you
cannot afford to be without — for they return
in fuel savings more than they cost. Other
Carey materials pay their way in fire safety,
lower-cost insurance, in elimination of paint-
ing, in lifetime service. All Carey Products re-

from the furnishings to the building
itself. The roof, therefore, is NOT the
place to practice "cost cutting" when
you build.
Through years of research and ex-
perience, Carey has developed a line
of roofs from which you may select
the one that will best harmonize with
the architecture of your home. Carey
roofs are available in a wide range
of prices to suit any building budget.
But regardless of which Carey roof
you choose, you are sure of maximum
service for every dollar invested. Ex-
tra value is a fundamental of every
Carey roof.

ROOFS THAT COVER YOUR INDIVIDUAL NEEDS
Carey stone
ASBESTOS-CEMENT SHINGLES
Made of the imperishable materials,
asbestos fibre and Portland cement,
Careystone Shingles possess the peculiar
property of increasing in toughness upon
exposure to the elements. They are fire-
proof, wear-proof and rot-proof — perma-
nent as stone and, in appearance give an
exact reproduction of wood grain — a
beautiful roof that never requires paint-
ing or other upkeep.
Carey
CORK-INSULATED SHINGLES
Provide a durable, storm-proof roof plus
insulation against heat and cold — at a
cost very little above that of ordinary
asphalt shingles. Where roof insulation
is desired, this shingle affords consider-
able economy, since no additional labor
or material is required in laying. The
Cork-Insulated Shingle makes a finished
roof of pleasing appearance, with deeper
shadow lines due to the extra thickness.
Carey
ASFALTSLATE SHINGLES
Famous for their long wearing quality
and natural beauty. They are proof
against ordinary fire risks — low in up-
keep, as they never require painting.
Asfaltslate Shingles, both individual and
strip, are manufactured on a base of
tough rag felt, thoroughly saturated and
coated with asphalt. To this is applied
a layer of colored mineral granules,
providing a durable wearing surface in
natural colors— a roof of lasting beauty.

ASBESTOS-CEMENT SHINGLES
Y
-Lou wouldn't think of building a home without a permanent
foundation. Can you afford to build without a permanent roof?
A permanent roof reduces your upkeep and repair expense;
insures you against costly leaks; against fire hazards; lowers your
insurance rates to the minimum; saves you the cost of ever having
to rip off old shingles and pay for a new roof. Then, too, there's a
feeling of security in living under a roof you know is fireproof — a
roof on which sparks, embers, even burning brands fizzle out harm-
lessly.
All these advantages — these savings — are yours to enjoy when
you roof your home with Careystone Asbestos-Cement Shingles. Once
laid, your roof worries are over.
All Careystone Shingles, with the exception of the French
method, have the appearance of wood shingles, the texture being an
authentic reproduction of wood grain set in everlasting Portland
cement and asbestos fibre. By a scientific process, these two lifetime
materials are combined under great pressure, forming a shingle that
will last as long as the building.
Budget and Architecture Meet
on a Common Ground with
Carey
ASFALTSLATE SHINGLES
V^onventional in design, the Carey
Asfaltslate Shingle is adaptable to many
architectural treatments . . . assures a roof
of long life and distinctive beauty at rea-
sonable cost.
Made especially rugged and substan-
tial to insure extra years of trouble-free
service. A layer of colored mineral gran-
ules provides a beautiful and durable wear-
ing surface. Full three thickness coverage
assures maximum roof protection.
Asfaltslate Shingles are proof against
all ordinary fire risks, such as flying sparks
from chimneys and burning brands from
neighborhood fires. You protect your home
against fire, weather and time, when you
roof with Carey Asfaltslate Shingles.
THE CERAMIC GRANULES used in the manufacture of
Carey Shingles are made by applying a high-temperature,
fusible, colored glaze to a mineral granule base and firing
the glaze into the surface of the granule at a temperature
of around 2000 degrees F. The mineral pigment colors and
the firing conditions are very similar to those used in firing
the decorative pattern on china or porcelain dishes. The
color of the granule is just as permanent. It cannot fade
or wash off.
Carey Cork-Insulated
Shingles
GIVE TWO VALUES AT ONE COST
A his is the only asphalt shingle with outside mineral
surface for weather protection; cork underside for insulation.
The cork layer acts as a barrier to heat and cold; makes the
home several degrees cooler in summer and correspondingly
warmer in winter.
This effective roof insulation is automatically applied when
the roof is put on, eliminating the extra cost of material and
labor involved when separate roof insulation is used.
Fuel Savings Pay the Bill — A study of actual roof condi-
tions shows that for a roof of average area (15 squares), with
an average difference between indoor and outdoor temperature
of 40 degrees F., the home owner who burns fuel at $9 per ton
can save during a single heating season the difference in cost
between an ordinary asphalt shingle roof and a Carey Cork-
Insulated roof . . . and these savings continue year after year.
Carey Cork-Insulated Shingles are approved by Under-
writers' Laboratories — assure a beautiful and distinctive roof;
long, dependable service.

CHOICE OF HARMONIOUS
_L/ependable, waterproof protection will
always be the first essential of a good roof.
Yet the roof must satisfy another important
requirement — appearance. Because the roof is the
largest single area in the house and the dominant
feature of its exterior, it should be in complete
harmony both with the style of architecture and the
color of the building.
Today, more than ever before, outside appear-
ance is an important factor in home value. Home
buyers want a roof that emphasizes the character
of the home — that gives it dignity and charm. Here,
color plays a vital part.
Carey Shingle colors have been developed
through years of careful study and experience in
satisfying individual preferences of home owners
and the rigid requirements of architects.
Carey Shingles are available in an adequate
range of nature's own colors — warm reds, cool
greens and beautiful blended tones, as reproduced
on these pages. These colors harmonize with archi-
tecturally correct home exteriors and through com-
bination of colors, an almost endless variety of
The Emeralblend — one of the attractive blends now available in the Carey Asphalt Shingle line.
The others are Red, Harvest. Russet and Green Blends and Verdeblend.

DRY, HEALTHFUL, USEFUL BASEMENTS
CAREY DAMP-PROOFING AND WATERPROOFING
Basements not properly protected against the seepage of ground
water become damp and unhealthy. To prevent this — to make
sure your basement will be as dry and healthful as your living
room, specify Carey Waterproofing Materials in your new home.
CAREY PERC0PR00F COATING
This compound, applied to the outside wall, penetrates the pores
and seals out the ground water, assuring a dry basement. Per-
coproof comes in cans ready for use. Easily applied by un-
skilled labor. Must be applied to the outside of the wall only
— preferably while the building is being erected.
CAREY PLASTIC WATERPROOFING COMPOUND
This is a fibrous black cement which is troweled onto the outside
of the foundation walls, forming a tough and thick adhesive
layer. Used where building is in low, heavy or soggy ground,
where greater protection is needed than is afforded by the liquid
Percoproof Coating. Applied to outside of basement wall only.
CAREY PERCOPROOF PLASTER ROND
When moisture soaks through from the outside of concrete,
brick or hollow tile walls, it often causes ugly stains and cracks
in the plaster, sometimes causes the plaster to fall. The use of
Carey Percoproof Plaster Bond prevents the penetration of
moisture. Applied directly to the wall, it penetrates the pores,
sealing them against dampness. Percoproof Plaster Bond is of a
thin, paint-like consistency and comes ready to apply with a
brush, without the addition of solvents. It leaves the wall in its
original roughness so that the plaster bonds firmly and per-
manently.

INSULATIONS
ncovered steam or hot water pipes act as radiators. They
waste heat in basement, hollow walls and other places where heat is
not needed.
USE CAREYGEL FOR YOUR HEATING SYSTEM
Careycel Asbestos Insulation is an exclusive, patented Carey Product,
developed especially for hot water and steam heating systems. Impar-
tial tests, made by a leading testing laboratory, demonstrated a 30 %
reduction in heat loss over the air cell type of covering ordinarily
used. Put Careycel over all pipes leading from boiler to radiator;
cover boiler with Careycel Asbestos Blocks. The savings in fuel will
pay for the insulation and continue to pay you dividends in fuel saved
year after year.
A CAREY TANK JACKET KEEPS HOT WATER HOT
Cover your hot water heater with a Carey Tank Jacket. The water will
heat quicker and stay hot longer. The pipes leading from water heater
to kitchen and bathroom allow the hot water to cool. Cover these
pipes with Careycel Insulation and keep the water hot, right up to the
faucets. This will save you money on water and gas bills; give you
more hot water when you want it.
CAREY PERFEGTO PIPE COVERING FOR COLD WATER LINES
Cold water lines usually run parallel to hot water lines through the
walls to bathroom and kitchen. These pipes are warmed by the adja-
cent hot water pipes and it is usually necessary to run the cold water
for some time to get it cool enough to use. Cover your cold water lines
with Carey Perfecto Covering — have cool water right up to the faucets
— reduce your water bills.

tion of Careyduct.

III! THE HOME
ELIMINATE NOISY WASTE PIPES
You know how objectionable it is — and sometimes embar-
rassing — to hear waste water gurgling through the soil
pipes between the partitions. This is easily overcome by
insulating the soil pipes with Carey Perfecto Woolfelt
Pipe Covering. Make Carey Pipe Covering a part of your
heating and plumbing specifications. The work must be
done before walls are closed and plastered.
ELIMINATE SWEATING PIPES
Like many home owners you probably wish to make use
of your basement as a recreation room, work shop, or
laundry. Be sure to cover cold water lines with Carey
Perfecto, the non-sweat insulation. It will eliminate drip-
ping from pipes.
SPECIFY GAREYDUGT FOR YOUR AIR
CONDITIONING SYSTEM
If air conditioning is included in your new home, be sure
to specify Careyduct — the modern asbestos insulated duct,
Careyduct is fireproof; permanent; will not rust or decay;
hushes fan noises; insures uniform high efficiency in the
whole duct system. Size for size, Careyduct is much
cheaper than insulated metal. Easily erected; easily
decorated.
CAREY EXPANSION JOINT PREVENTS
UNSIGHTLY CRACKS
Variations in temperature cause concrete work to expand
and contract. To prevent breakage and cracks due to this
expansion and contraction, specify Carey Elastite Expan-
sion Joint to be used in all concrete work about your home.
Carey Expansion Joint is available in two types:
A. Standard Asphalt Joint consisting of two layers of
felt between which is interposed an asphaltic com-
position.
B. A sponge rubber type of joint that is resilient. When
compressed by the expansion of concrete, it will not
extrude.
Unsightly cracks in concrete driveways are a thing of the past when
Carey Elastite Expansion Joint is specified.

V^arey Rocktex is the modern Rock Wool Home Insu-
lation. A 4-inch thick blanket of Rocktex installed in the
walls and ceiling of your home is as efficient in stopping the
flow of heat as a solid brick wall about five feet thick.
Fuel savings are definite because Rocktex stops the loss
of heat that costs you so much to provide. Rocktex also effects
important savings in reducing the size of the heating unit
required to heat an uninsulated building. The saving in cost of
the heating plant has, in many cases, paid for the insulation.
HOME IISUL1TI0L..1
Since Carey Rocktex reduces fuel consumption up to
30 % or more, it is an important item in household economy.
In many cases, it will go far toward paying the taxes on the
property.
Carey Rocktex Insulation eliminates drafty rooms, cold
corners and cold floors in winter. By maintaining even tem-
peratures, it reduces rapidity of air change in the home,
thereby diminishes evaporation of moisture in the air and
helps to conserve the proper humidity so essential to health.
Carey Rocktex gives you increased fire protection. You
don't have to push your furnace so hard in cold weather;
thus you eliminate one of the greatest fire hazards. Rocktex
eliminates lath marks and unsightly dark streaks on ceiling
and walls. You don't have to redecorate so often, another
important saving. Rocktex also increases property value. A
Rocktex Insulated home is more livable — rents to better
advantage . . . sells at a substantially better price.
Carey Rocktex is manufactured from mineral materials;
therefore is permanent. It is fireproof . . . water repellant
. . . odorless . . . highly efficient . . . light in weight . . .
will not rot or decay . . . outlasts the building.
Carey Rocktex is available in forms for easy application
in any type of building, old or new. Insulate with Carey

The DUCHESS —The MODERNE
These two popular cabinets are identical, except that the Duchess has
the mirror set in a beautiful circular frame of brass, chromium plated.
styled to match today's modern chromium plated bathroom fixtures and
accessories.
When installed in the wall, the Moderne and the Duchess look like
beautiful circular mirrors hung on the wall. The illustration of the
Pompadour at the left shows how both models appear when the door is
closed. The ingenious hinge on which the door is swung permits it to
be pulled outward over the lavatory so that when opened the mirror is
only a few inches from the face— an ideal arrangement for shaving or
dressing the hair.
The cabinet box of both the Duchess and Moderne is constructed of
heavy-gauge ARMCO steel. The body and door backs are finished in
Miami Crystal Snoiv, guaranteed not to retain a stain or to discolor
with age. Equipped with two adjustable plate glass shelves, and
Miami chromium plated razor blade drop. Mirror size is 26" circle-
wall opening, 16y 2 "xl6y 2 "x4 1 / 4".
The POWDER PUFF
The custom-built Powder Puff unit, illustrated on the
left, adds the final touch to the modern powder or
dressing room. The outside frame is brass finished in
lustrous chromium plate. The large center mirror is
genuine "A" quality plate glass in either the new rose
(flesh) color or regular silver, as desired.
The small mirrors on either side of the large center mirror are op-
tional as to color— either rose (flesh), gun metal, blue, green or regular
silver. The recessed lower shelf may also be had in the same colors
as the small side mirrors or in regular silver.
The light brackets are concealed behind the two small side mirrors and
are so located that the light is reflected onto the large center mirror
through ground glass panels. The overall size is 35"x41}4"- wall open-
ing, 34%"x40%"x4%".
FOR the MODERN POWDER ROOM
In the home of today, the Powder Room is
almost as essential as was the bathroom in
the house of the late nineties. Equipped with
the beautiful Miami "Powder Puff," it attains
the utmost in completeness and distinctive-
ness.

BRILLIANTLY BEAUTIFUL
The line of MIAMI Chromium Lifetime Bathroom Acces-
sories was developed to meet the need of those who wanted
a product that was thoroughly modern . . . that could be
bought at popular prices . . . that could be inexpensively
installed in practically any bathroom.
MIAMI Chromium Bathroom Accessories are built to resist
long wear and hard use. Over a forged, brass base, a thick
coating of nickel is applied and then a covering of hard
chromium. This method of manufacture assures a product
that will give utmost satisfaction and retain its original
brilliance.
Projection type accessories, a few of which are illustrated
on the right, are tightly secured with a new type of key plug.
They are furnished with either "L" lug type brackets for
installing the fixture permanently into the wall; or with
"S" screw-on type brackets that fasten to practically any
surface. The screws are concealed by the front plate of the
bracket.
The recessed accessories shown at the bottom of this page
are provided with larger and wider flanges which eliminate
open joints, fit perfectly and give a more finished appear-
ance. When installed, they become a part of the wall itself.
MIAMI "Time Saver" Recessed Accessories are the same
in appearance as the Miami Recessed Accessories. Although
they are smaller, they are equal in inside area to the aver-
age 6" x 6" china accessory.

OF COURSE YOU'RE GOING TO INSULATE...
A N uninsulated house is an expensive house
to heat — a fuel -waster, cold and drafty in
winter in spite of everything you can do- — and
uncomfortably hot in summer. Eighty-three
out of every hundred people who plan to
build say they want insulation.
Thermal insulation may be any substance
which obstructs the passage of heat. Built
into the outer walls and top-floor ceilings (or
under the roof) , insulation saves fuel by keep-
ing a larger proportion of heat inside the
house. In summer, by a similar action, insula-
tion halts heat from the sun, keeps the interior
of your home cooler by several degrees than
the outer temperature.
Many people believe they are insulating their
houses when they put insulation into the top-
floor ceiling — but this is only a partial job.
Be sure to insulate your side walls, too!
Good insulation pays for itself in fuel savings
alone in a few years. It makes your house
more comfortable to live in and easier to sell.
According to government figures, it is easily
possible for efficient insulation to save you
one-fourth to one-third of your fuel bill every
winter. Let these diagrams show you just how
insulation works:

The uninsulated house leaks heat
through walls and roof. It leaks out
in winter and in during summer.
The insulated house conserves winter
heat, saves fuel by preventing excess
loss through walls and roof.
The insulated house turns back blister-
ing sun rays in summer, keeping the
interior cool.
This uninsulated house permits the rapid escape of costly
heat through the roof, which causes snow to melt almost
as fast as it falls.
Snow remains on the roof of this insulated house, showing
that the owner is conserving heat, saving fuel, enjoying
the benefits of greater comfort.
THIS IS A
TYPICAL
6-ROOM HOUSE
UNINSULATED
IT USES 10 TONS OF COAL
THIS modern 6-room house is typical of thousands.
It could be your house. It has 1500 square feet
net of side wall area and 700 feet of top-floor ceiling
area. There are 17 windows and three outside doors,
with 170 square feet of glass and door area, and there
are cracks around them which let in cold air.
Side walls — ceilings — glass area — eracks around open-
ings — those are the four places where heat is rapidly
lost in any house.
Let's say, for the sake of argument, that this house
with no insulation will use 10 tons of coal during an
average winter. You may use oil or gas heat, but the
proportions will remain the same. The charts show
you just how much fuel is required to overcome the
four sources of heat loss — and how each of the losses
can be effectively cut :
Of the 10 tons, 2.3 tons
go to replace heat lost JM
through the top-floor ceil-
ings of this house.
4.4 tons of coal are used
to replace heat which ,
has escaped through side S
walls— the largest single
heat-wasting area.
Heat lost through glass
accounts for 2.2 tons of
the required coal.
Cold air coming in
around windows and
doors must be warmed
— takes 1,1 tons of coal.

SIDE WALLS...
ARE YOUR LARGEST HEAT-WASTING AREA
It Is All-Important That They Be Insulated
When Your Home Is Built
TO INSULATE ROOF AND NOT
SIDE WALLS IS LIKE WEARING
A MACKINAW AND NO PANTS!
r 1 1 HERE are more square feet of
heat-wasting area in the side walls
of a house than in any other single
factor of fuel waste! And the only
time these walls can be insulated effi-
ciently and economically is at the time
they are being built!
If it becomes a question of cutting
costs, you can add roof or top-floor-
ceiling insulation later on, without
any appreciable price penalty or sac-
rifice of efficiency. Storm sash can be
added at any time, without increasing
their cost. But side wall insulation,
to do its job well and permanently,
must be built into the walls before
they are completed.
You would hardly venture out into a
blizzard wearing a mackinaw — with-
out protection for your legs ! Yet that
is what it would amount to, if you
built roof insulation into your new
home and left the side walls uninsu-
lated. Side-wall leakage lets drafts in.
Side-wall leakage is what made the
"north bedroom" a veritable cold
storage plant in your grandmother's
uninsulated house.
Be sure you provide insulation of
proved efficiency for your side walls at
the time your house is built !
CELOTEX VAPOR-SEAL SHEATHING
. . . USED IN PLACE OF ORDINARY
SHEATHING . . .
fc««„
DOES 3 JOBS
AT
ONE LOW COST
"C 1 VERY frame, brick veneer, stone veneer, or
stucco house requires sheathing. This is the
material which, nailed to the studding, first en-
closes the building. In old-fashioned construc-
tion, wood boards were used for this purpose.
This wood sheathing was then covered with
building paper, after which the wood siding,
brick veneer, stone veneer, or stucco was then
added to complete the wall.
Today, big, rigid boards of Celotex Vapor-seal
Sheathing replace ordinary sheathing. Actual
tests have proved repeatedly that this material
provides more structural strength. In addition,
at the one cost, it furnishes insulation of proved
efficiency and the vapor seal so necessary with
modern air-conditioning heating plants. In
milder climates, this vapor seal is equally impor-
tant as a preventative of troublesome condensa-
tion on walls.
Two ordinary expenses — sheathing and building
paper — are eliminated, making the net installed
cost of your guaranteed Celotex Vapor-seal
Sheathing very low indeed! In fact, its cost in
many markets is actually no more than that of
ordinary wood sheathing. Ask your Celotex
Dealer about it!
Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing 4 feet wide is nailed
with four rows of nails, giving bracing strength
equal to diagonal wood sheathing, and far greater
than horizontal wood sheathing. Easy to handle, it
goes up fast, stays put!
Cut into a piece of Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing.
See the millions of closely knit fibres which form
the insulation — the coatings of asphalt and alumi-
num which provide the needed vapor seal!
CELOTEX VAPOR-SEAL SHEATHING
Means a STRONGER Sheathing, without Cracks or Knot Holes for Heat Leakage
T^HIS photograph shows the famous turnbuckle test, made
by Columbia University, the University of Minnesota, and
many other recognized authorities, which proves that Celotex
Vapor-seal Sheathing has far greater bracing strength than
horizontal wood sheathing.
Frames of equal size are built side by side, one covered with
wood sheathing and the other with Celotex Sheathing. Then
a turnbuckle is used to exert equal pulling power on both
panels. The Celotex panel always holds its position, while the
panel built with wood sheathing is drawn out of shape. Thus,
is proved that with Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing, you are
assured a rigidly framed house which will resist distortion due
to wind pressure or settling strains. This also reduces the
chances of cracked plaster.
Furthermore, there are usually knot holes and cracks in wood
sheathing — but every board of Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing
is perfect, free from openings of any sort, wind and weather-
tight! No wonder it prevents drafts and heat leakage. Ask
your Celotex Dealer !
NEW CENTER MATCHED VAPOR-SEAL SHEATHING
Applied Horizontally, Makes Weather-Tight Wall
i^ONTRACTORS and carpenters are en-
thusiastic in their praise of the new
Celotex Center Matched Vapor-seal Sheath-
ing, which comes in boards two by eight
feet with tongue and groove running the
long way. They say this smaller size makes
the boards easy to handle, and that apply-
ing them horizontally gives a maximum of
bracing strength.
There is no possibility of heat-leakage
through cracks, since the center matched
feature effectively closes horizontal joints,
and all vertical joints occur on studding.
Ask your local Celotex Dealer about this
latest development in Celotex Vapor-seal
Insulating Sheathing.
CELOTEX VAPOR-SEAL LATH
i\
v-
IN OUTER WALLS AND TOP-FLOOR CEILINGS
Meeti 3 tl&uuAem&iti oil \£<uu Gait
l^VERY home with a plastered interior must have some
kind of lath or plaster base. Celotex Vapor-seal Insu-
lating Lath meets that requirement — furnishes an excellent
plaster base. But in addition, at the same initial cost, this
proved material provides efficient modern insulation for
outer walls and top-floor ceilings, plus a scientifically cor-
rect vapor seal to prevent harmful moisture condensation
in between-wall space.
Lathers and plasterers like to work with Celotex Vapor-seal
Lath. It goes up easily, bends safely around moderate
curves, insures a wall permanently free from ugly, disfig-
uring lath marks. Moreover, it reduces the chance of plaster
cracking by providing a continuous uninterrupted plaster
base which adds strength to the entire building.
By providing a continuous plaster backing and a strong, uninter-
rupted bond between plaster and lath, Celotex Vapor-seal Lath
reduces chance of plaster cracks.
CELOTEX LATH ON INNER WALLS
ObeadetU Sound, . . Qon^Ui^i Aloiie
T>E sure to use standard Celotex Insulating Lath for the inner
*-* walls of your home — for its strength, its freedom from lath
marks, and its remarkable sound-deadening efficiency.
Noise, like heat, has trouble penetrating those closely-knit cane
fibres with their millions of dead-air cells. This sound-deadening
efficiency helps keep street noises from coming in, helps confine
inside noises — radio, laughter, children at play — to the rooms
where they originate. To make your home truly modern, use
Celotex Lath on all walls to insulate it against noise as well as
fuel waste. Ask your Celotex Dealer !

(INSTRUCTION
PERMITS EVAPORATION, KEEPS WALLS DRY AND SOUND
"Breathing space" in walls is important. It permits evapo-
ration of any moisture which may penetrate between walls,
and is a definite aid in keeping wood dry and sound through
years of service.
WTHEN you insulate with Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing
and Vapor-seal Lath, this important breathing space is
kept open. Recommended Celotex construction calls for
2 %2" Vapor-seal Sheathing combined with l / 2 " Vapor-seal
Lath for the walls, and 1" Vapor-seal Lath on top-floor ceilings.
This gives you complete, efficient insulation, guaranteed in
writing for the life of the building.*
You actually pay for insulation, whether you get it or not!
You pay for it, in actual cash paid out for wasted fuel. On the
other hand, if you finance your house over 20 years, any slight
increase in your initial payment to include Celotex insulation
is more than covered by your fuel savings the first winter.
From that time on, every year of the 20, your Celotex Insula-
tion pays you a dividend as high as 200% to 300% !

each unit are beautifully detailed; the patented spline con-
ceals open cracks. And their factory-applied finish of rich,
smooth ivory color does away with further need for deco-
ration. (See Massachusetts photo at left.)
Celotex Insulating Plank and Tile, available in many tints
and textures, likewise combine decoration and insulation.
Be sure to have your own Celotex Dealer show you samples
and demonstrate the many beautiful effects which can be
achieved so easily — and so economically!

ERE'S BEAUTY, WARMTH.
AND CHARM APLENTY/
A GRACIOUS LIVING ROOM
WITH "HOMEY COMFORT"
Authentic English Provincial in style, this cozy, livable
room uses Celotex Plank horizontally below the chair rail
and vertically in a lighter finish above. Celotex Hardboard
Moulding makes the interesting cornice, with Celotex Plank
in random widths for the ceiling. The corner cupboard is
of Celotex Studio Board painted white.
ATTIC DEN SAVES FUEL
FOR WHOLE HOUSE
Two worthwhile purposes were accom-
plished by this Celotex-finished attic den:
First, the whole family gained a cozy, se-
cluded spot for lounging or recreation, cool
in summer and warm in winter. Second,
fuel bills were cut, because the Celotex In-
terior Finish acts as insulation, reduces
heat loss through the roof.
ATTIC ROOM FOR "TEEN-AGE" GIRL
by editors of "BETTER HOMES & GARDENS"
• Here's a room that caters to every whim of the "young lady of the house" — a place to
sleep, study, sew, or hold little informal social gatherings with school chums. It's a room
shell not only love, but one she will love you for giving to her — and you can so easily!
Completely planned and furnished by the editors of Better Homes & Gardens Magazine
for a girl, this room could be quickly adapted to the use of a boy, or two boys. And the
Celotex Interior Finish Products used not only mean low cost, easy heating in winter and
cool comfort on hot summer days — but a definite aid in cutting fuel bills for the whole house
as well. Because the proved insulating value of these products helps prevent the escape
of valuable heat through the roof.
THERE'S NO LIMIT TO THI
LOVELY EFFECTS POSSIBLE WITH
CELOTEX INSULATING INTERIOR FINISH
:
No need for shushing little folks, even if there is company
upstairs in the living room. This basement play room of Celotex
Plank, with a sound-muffling ceiling of Celotex Tile, gives them
a place where they're free to have all the fun there is. Your
home should have such a room.

THE ACTUAL NET COST OF CELOTEX
Used in Constructing Your New Home
W\ s oi
W.W. Norris, President of the well known Walter Norris
Company, Chicago, says, "Because Celotex Insulation
does a triple job — builds, vapor-seals, and insulates — at
one cost, I will duplicate this large 6-room home, in the
Chicago area, and the cost of complete Celotex Insulation
will be only $93.30."
"Because Celotex Insulation builds, insulates, and
vapor-seals at one cost, complete insulation in this big
6-room house cost only $85 net!" says W. T. Nagle,
Saginaw, Michigan, Designer and Builder. Low net
costs are possible because Celotex Insulation replaces
other materials, contributes structural strength !
In this charming suburban home the difference be-
tween uninsulated construction and complete insula-
tion with Celotex Vapor-seal Sheathing and Lath was
less than $95! The owner actually gets $335 worth
of guaranteed insulation, but pays far less because
Celotex eliminates $235 worth of other materials!

Tiny air and moisture bubbles, trapped inside roof-
ing felts during manufacture, contract with cold . . .
...and expand with heat, weakening the structure
and eventually leading to trouble. The Celotex
Triple Sealed Process drives out pocketed air and
moisture — gives 3-way protection I
The roof of your home will be its most important single factor of pro-
tection from weather. When you buy that protection, you want as many
years of service as you can possibly get for your money. You want a roof
which will not only give you full protection for a maximum span of
years, but which will be in keeping with the architecture of your home
— styled for beauty and color.
Since fire insurance is one of the important items to consider in figuring
costs, you want a roof which entitles you to a low fire insurance rate.
Insist on Celotex Triple Sealed Shingles — for extra service at no extra
cost — for the utmost in modern style and beauty — and for insurance
savings! The Celotex Triple Sealed manufacturing process gives you
three-way protection from rain, heat, wind, and snow.
(1) Inner Sealed — By special process, asphalt is forced into felt base from
one side only! Air and moisture are driven out ahead of the asphalt,
(2) Outer Sealed — The saturated base is next dipped in an asphalt bath —
encased in a second seal.
(3) Face Sealed — Finally, a tempered mineral-filled asphalt coating is ap-
plied — thus forming a tough, durable third seal.

CRANE-EQUIP YOUR ENTIRE HOME
FOR MAXIMUM SATISFACTION
"DEGARDLESS of the size of the home — regard-
less of the price range, it is deserving of the
best in equipment. In plumbing and heating this
best by any standard is Crane.
The name Crane has stood for quality in materials
and workmanship since the founding of the com-
pany over 80 years ago. So synonymous have been
the two, Crane and Quality, that many people
have jumped to the erroneous conclusion that
Crane fixtures must be high priced. As a matter
of fact, you pay no more for Crane Quality than
for much plumbing and heating equipment similar
in general appearance but of greatly inferior value.
Often Crane fixtures cost less to install.
The huge Crane plants producing porcelain enamel
and vitreous china plumbing equipment — radia-
tion and boilers— valves and fittings— coupled
with the extensive Crane distribution system,
nation-wide in scope, mean modern mass opera-
tion and therefore the lowest possible price con-
sistent with high quality.
For the satisfaction of having the best, the most
complete, convenient and modern home one could
desire, Crane-Equip throughout with Crane Bath-
tubs, Lavatories, Showers, Sinks, Laundry Tubs,
Crane Boiler, Radiators, Convectors, even Crane
Valves and Fittings. Specify Crane and be sure of
enduring quality and an investment in long,
satisfactory service.

PROBABLY no room in the house offers a
greater opportunity for the exercise of in-
genuity in planning than the bathroom. Here is a
room that first of all, should be convenient and
practical, but at the same time the chance to make
the bath charming and inviting, too, must not
be overlooked.
Ol course, any bathroom plan must take into
consideration the hidden piping— the valves and
fittings behind the walls and beneath the floors,
upon whose proper planning the efficiency of the
room depends. Naturally, you will want to con-
sult with your architect and plumbing contractor
on this important phase of planning.
These experts can help you too in the arrangement
of fixtures — the convenient little places for storage
—the interesting architectural effects and the
decoration that you will want.
In the matter of color, you can, if you like, install
gleaming white Crane fixtures which will fit in
with any color scheme you may choose. Or you
can have handsome Crane fixtures in colors — for
Crane lavatories, bathtubs and closets are all
made in Orchid Pink, India Ivory, Citrus Yellow,
Suntan, Pale Jade, Lucerne Blue, Persian Red,
and Black, as well as White. This not only offers
you a wide selection of fixture colors, but many
an opportunity for interesting color effects in
your bathroom as well.
To help you in planning your bathroom, Crane
has provided a bathroom planning service, avail-
able for consultation at every Crane Branch. This
complete service will be of help to you in every
step of your planning, giving you valuable in-
formation on room arrangement, on the selection
of materials and actually helping you to obtain
the best plan to suit your room and your taste.
In addition to this service, Crane has prepared a
book on bathroom planning that will be of interest
to you in planning a room to suit your taste. For

NEUVOGUE BATHROOM FIXTURES
eau
tlTUl
NEUVOGUE is Crane's answer to modern
styling. Indeed, Neuvogue represents a new
departure in the bath for the modern home.
Simple, functional, practical, these fixtures take
on a sculptured charm from their pure lines and
flat planes — a charm the more harmonious and
pleasing because it is inherent in the design of
each piece.
Conceived in the spirit of today's demand, utility
made beautiful — the Neuvogue design joins the
essential lines, planes and curves into an artistic
relationship and without the addition of ex-
traneous ornaments, each piece emerges a thing
of beauty in its own right.
Perhaps most remarkable at first glance, is the
achievement expressed in the lavatory. The con-
ventional oval bowl has given way to a new shape,
wide at the front with lots of room for head and
elbows. It curves back in a sweeping line with
ample shelf space — just where you want it.
This is made possible by the new treatment of
the faucets for in Neuvogue the supply fittings and
waste control have been grouped together— out
of the way — yet easily accessible.
Consider the tub. The wide, flat surface provides a
convenient comfortable seat. The nearly vertical
sides add to the bottom area of the tub— assure a
roomy luxurious bath.
In the Neuvogue closet the continuation of the
planes of the tank to the floor not only eliminates
exposed pipes, making for easy cleaning, but gives
a long, vertical line so simple and dignified.
Neuvogue fixtures may be had in white or in any
standard Crane color.
NEUVOGUE CORNER
BATHTUB C 32 2 5
Made for either corner or recessed
installation. Sides are nearly verti-
cal to take advantage of every
square inch of room, and sloping
end provides an ideal back rest.
Flat bottom increases safety and
wide comfortable seat on the rim
makes this an ideal tub for foot
bathing.
NEUVOGUE FITTINGS
On bathtub and lavatory the generous
sized handles, so easy even for wet
fingers to grasp, operate at a touch.
Their position gives a visual guide
to the temperature of the water.
Sturdy, strong, they assure the maxi-
mum in efficient service.
NEUVOGUE CLOSETS C 10381
A truly modern closet to suit today's
tastes. The tank has been narrowed to
give slender lines to the fixture. Solid
base at the floor makes cleaning easy
leaving no hidden corners. The seats
are plain surfaced when closed to
harmonize with the overall design;
open to a hygienically correct curve
approved by medical authorities.
NEUVOGUE RECEPTOR
BATH C 3190
Ideal for use with a shower in
the small room or room of
unusual shape. Despite its 4-ft.
width the receptor actually
gives the equivalent of a bath-
tub 5}4 ft- long. Large, flat bot-
tom means greater safety.
A novel idea in bathroom fixtures,
the Neupogue lavatory has the con-
trols grouped together at the center,
leaving the top area free for toilet
articles. Basin has the width at the
front where it is wanted. Comes in
flat bar support as shown or with
metal legs or pedestal base.

Modern in design with many new and advanced
features, the Crane complete line of paneled fix-
tures offers the utmost in style and appearance as
well as the utmost in utility and efficiency. The
panel design so characteristic of the bathtub may
be seen echoed in the front of the lavatory and the
tank of the closet. Together these fixtures offer a
unified matched set that will lend an air of charm
and distinction to any bathroom.
But handsome as Crane paneled fixtures are, they
present a practical beauty; for each fixture is care-
fully designed for the utmost efficiency and service,
the utmost utility in performing the purpose for
which it is intended.
Consider the bathtub illustrated above — its low
height, only sixteen inches from floor to rim,
makes it easy to step in and out, straight sides
increase its capacity so that it holds more water
than the conventional tub. The flat bottom reduces
the danger of slipping; and the rim has been
widened at the front to form a comfortable seat
so convenient when foot bathing or in dressing.
Or take the lavatory. The basin has been widened
in the front; and its sweeping curve not only gives
lots of room where it is most needed, but makes
available a convenient flat space for placing toilet
articles as well. The modern fittings assure rapid
draining — a waste control that operates at the
touch of a finger.
In the closet, again functional design has made the
fixture pleasing because of its very practicability.
The seat is low for comfort and the whole fixture
compact — designed to occupy the minimum
amount of space. The elimination of connecting
pipes between bowl and tank not only gives the
closet a modern appearance, but aids in prevent-
ing embarrassing noise.
In the complete line of Crane matched panel
fixtures, you will find just the equipment best
suited to your taste and your pocketbook; made in
white and all standard Crane colors.

WHY NOT A
HALF BATHROOM
FOR YOUR HOME?
THE Half Bathroom also known as the Powder Room
or Downstairs Lavatory, is a much appreciated addi-
tion to any home. Occupying but little space, in fact, often
tucked in at the end of a hall or below a stairs, the Half
Bathroom practically doubles the sanitary facilities of
many homes and is considerably less expensive to install
than a complete bathroom. In a two storied home the
Half Bathroom located downstairs is today considered a
necessity. It is convenient when guests are being enter-
tained; and its saving in energy for the homeowner makes
it a worthwhile investment. The Half Bathroom can be
extremely simple in treatment or it can be made into a
distinctive powder room, such as the one shown, as the
taste of the owner dictates.
In the complete Crane line there are fixtures just suited to
the Half Bathroom. Quiet closets are designed to fit in the
confined space available — lavatories with large, usable
areas ideal for toilet articles — handsome and convenient
mirrors and accessories, as well.
Be sure to consult with your Architect or Master Plumbei
on the addition of this valuable room to your home.

SUPERIORITY OF
QUALITY COUNTS IN THE EQUIPMENT
YOU INSTALL
In choosing plumbing and heating equipment for the home,
quality is of paramount importance; for replacements are
difficult and costly and a single bill for repairs may easily
be greater than the slight difference in cost between Crane
high quality and equipment of inferior construction. Then,
too, the matter of pride must be taken into consideration;
for plumbing and heating equipment is purchased on a
long time basis and the enduring beauty of Crane-Equip-
ment will remain a testimony to your taste and judgment
for the life of the house. Below is a brief discussion of the
quality Crane builds into all equipment carrying that
name. Because of space limitations it is necessarily brief,
but it will suggest to you the importance of selecting
equipment made by a reliable manufacturer.
CRANE VITREOUS CHINA
Crane vitreous china is pro-
duced in our own potteries —
at Trenton — one of the oldest
in the country; here is com-
f X CX^Zl bined the tradition of an
f ^?5p^ ancient art with the most
j -*-' modern equipment. Made of

" # ^BIL^^HMMm 1 ^^''' m osr minute inspection ar
every step in production —
Crane vitreous china retains its gloss and its original beauty
throughout the years. Vitreous china fixtures are fired to a
hard, wear-resisting surface as easily cleaned as a china plate.

CRANE ACID-RESISTING PORCELAIN ENAMEL
In the making of the smooth
close-grained gray iron castings
and in the even application of
porcelain enamel, every step in
the production of Crane enamel-
ware is under the most careful
control and rigid inspection. The
result is a product that shows
its quality by comparison.
Crane porcelain enamel is
smooth and easily cleaned with a damp cloth. The acid-
resisting finish makes it impervious to fruit juices or house-
hold acids — it is durable and will retain its beauty for years.
In the purchase of inferior porcelain enamel there are pit-
falls for the unwary; for while its defects may not be really
apparent, yet these flaws may develop after installation.
The name Crane is your guarantee of maximum quality and
maximum service— your assurance that careful supervision
and inspection have protected you against defects.
CRANE QUALITY PLUMBING BRASS
Important as are beauty of
design and smooth, gleam-
ing finish in plumbing fix-
tures, equally important
are faucets which deliver
the water, the waste that
assures proper draining if
you are to receive the years
of satisfactory service
which you have a right to
expect from the plumbing
equipment you buy. Crane fittings are ruggedly designed to
give plus service. Their smooth, heavy chromium-plated
finish not only adds to the beauty of the fixture, but means
easy cleaning and long life as well. In design, Crane Plumb-
ing Brass assures better performance, easy repairs and
more satisfactory service.
CRANE QUALITY BRASS HAS FEATURES YOUR HOME DESERVES
Newsleeve Faucet Unit — Longer life for fau-
cets is found in the Newsleeve unit. Entire
operating unit may be replaced without re-
moving faucet from fixture, slips in like a
cartridge.
Accesso Bath Waste— An exclusive Crane design,
that seals the tub at outlet; water used by
previous bather cannot contaminate fresh
supply. Positive lever action— tight and
trouble-free.
Lever Action Secure — Quick draining lavatory
waste. Designed to produce rush of water
which leaves the bowl clean. Positive action
operates with a touch of the finger. Strainer
removable for cleaning.
Crane Deviator Spout far Showers— Turn on the water; it
runs from the spout. Raise the knob; it gushes from the
shower. When the water is shut off knob drops back.
No chance of an inadvertent dousing.

FAMILY PLANNED KITCHENS
WHAT do you expect of your
kitchen? First, of course, you
want a comfortable place to work— a
room designed to help you perform
your tasks with a minimum of steps
and a minimum of effort. Then you
want a cheery, happy room, pleasant
and homelike. But Crane home
economics experts have found that a
kitchen in most homes is more than
just a room where meals are prepared —
for instance most families eat one or more meals
per day in the kitchen — many housewives prefer to
do their ironing in the kitchen; and it is not un-
common for the kitchen to become a sewing room
in off hours.
Growing children, sometimes, like a place to study
near where mother is working. Nothing appeals
more surely to the guests who come in for an
evening than refreshments served with studied
informality in a kitchen designed for that purpose.
For years Crane Co. has led in the
scientifically planned Kitchen; and
these years of experience are your guar-
antee that your Crane planned kitchen
will, indeed, save you steps and make
your housework easier. But the Crane
Family Planned Kitchen is a new
conception in kitchen planning, de-
r signed to suit you, your needs, your
household and your tastes. Here are
some suggestions:
EATING — Most American Families like to eat at
least one meal a day in the kitchen. This being the
case, many kitchens should certainly be planned
with this function in mind. A breakfast nook or
dinette may be provided in a plan that takes effi-
cient kitchen layout into consideration as well.
IRONING — With an ironing board that swings
down from the wall when the cabinet is opened
and an electrical outlet right there for the iron —
it is so convenient to do this task in the kitchen.
13
And when the ironing is over, the board is raised
out of the way — and the kitchen is spick and
span in an instant.
SEWING — What to do with the sewing machine
is a problem in most every home. Here is a happy
solution. With an electric outlet available, with
a table on which to spread patterns, cloth, pins,
thread — the kitchen seems to be quite a popular
place for sewing. A special cabinet can be provided
to conceal the sewing machine.
PLAYING — The dining space with its table and
chairs provides an excellent spot for the smaller
members of the family while mother is at work.
Here in a handy cabinet they can have their toys
and dolls — their paints and papers. Easily cleaned
floors that defy rough usage are another added
advantage.
the kitchen the
amazing how
ENTERTAINMENT — With
'* showroom" of the house, it is
guests will gravitate to it. Many of today's most
successful parties have been held in the kitchen —
not because they were planned that way, but
because of its attractiveness and intimacy. And
what more ideal spot in the house is there for the
children to entertain than in the kitchen. Here
they can pop command here is plenty of woi'king
area on which they can make candy.
RESTING — Many are the five- and ten-minute
periods when you want to sit down and rest — time
too short to go to the living room, yet too long
to leave something you are cooking. Most women
tell us that they like a comfortable place to sit
down — so they see to it that there is a place that
can be used for this purpose.
But these are only a few ways in which the Family
Planned Kitchen can serve you. For regardless of
what you expect of your kitchen, a Crane Family
Planned Kitchen can give you the features you
want and at the same time assure you an efficient,
modern kitchen designed to make your tasks easier.
Crane will help you to have the kitchen you want.
Be sure to send for the booklet " Family Planned
Kitchens" described on page ir/ containing much
interesting information for you on the modern,
humanized kitchen.
The nearest Crane Branch also has valuable infor-
mation on Kitchen Planning available for your
use or the use of your Architect and Plumbing
Contractor. Be sure to see this interesting material
before you plan your kitchen.

CRANE AUTOMATIC HEATING
WITH Crane
Automatic
Heating on the
job you can re-
lax with never a
thought of tend-
m ing the furnace
— the thermo-
stat on the wall,
set at the temper-
ature you want
maintained,
tends the fire for
you, automatic-
ally providing the correct amount of heat with-
out a thought or care on your part.
Modern, automatic heating systems consist of
many separate parts, all of which must function
not only individually, but in combination with
all other parts if maximum heating efficiency is to
be assured. The stoker or oil burner must be
properly designed for the boiler — the boiler must
be of both the right size and right type for the
whole system — pipe, valves, radiators, convectors
— all form essential parts of the system, the
efficiency of which depends on their proper
functioning as a unit.
Because the Crane heating line is complete —
because it includes boilers of every size and style
to burn coal, oil or gas — because valves, fittings,
radiators, convectors, controls and water special-
ties, all carry the name Crane, you are assured of
maximum satisfaction when your heating system
is a Crane system. Then, too, one responsibility
for all the equipment means a completely guar-
anteed system with minimum annoyance and
maximum satisfaction.
Every heating system is of necessity tailored for
each house. Comfortable, economical heating de-
pends upon the experience of the man who designs
the heating system. Your Architect, Heating
Engineer and Heating Contractor, because of their
years of experience are familiar with heating
problems. Their impartial judgment can be relied
upon to recommend the system best suited to your
needs. Whatever their recommendation you will
find just the equipment to give you the best overall
satisfaction in the complete Crane line.

NEW CRANE NO. 10 BOILER
Here is a boiler, newly designed for today's needs — ^possess-
ing features that make it ideal for any installation for it is
designed to burn coal or coke, oil or gas efficiently and
economically. The extra high base means a deep ash pit
ideal for stoker installation. The removable grate supports
make it practical to install the No. 10 as a hand-fired boiler
and later to convert it to stoker firing or change it over for
oil or gas firing if desired.
This flexibility means absolute independence of fuel supply
and is an additional sales feature in case the house is sold.
The new Crane No. 10 Boiler incorporates all those features
that Crane Research and modern heating practice have
proved most satisfactory in home heating — most economical
in fuel consumption. Because of enlarged flue area more
heat is absorbed from the gases as they travel back and
forth through the flues until every last bit of available heat
is transmitted to the water. Bubbles which form on the
inside of the boiler and actually insulate against heat,
wasting fuel dollars are scrubbed away by the rapid flow
of water.
All this means savings for the homeowner — better heating
as well.
In the New No. 10 the handsome dark green jacket ex-
tends clear to the floor and is heavily insulated with asbestos
which stops heat loss. Be sure to consider this modern boiler
when you are planning a new heating system.
AN ALL PURPOSE BOILER FOR ANY FUEL
FEATURES OF THE NO. 10
i. Designed to burn any fuel. Oil burner or gas burner may be
installed in front. Stoker may be installed at either front or
side.
z. Removable grate supports and high base make installation
of stoker at a later date simple and inexpensive.
3. Built-in water heater can be furnished to provide an econom-
ical supply of hot water for laundry, kitchen and bath.
4. Handles are non -heating and hinges are concealed.
5. Enlarged flue area means greater heating efficiency — lower
fuel bills.
6. No need of frequent firing, an extra large combustion chamber
holds ample fuel.
7. Crane patented water travel improves heat absorption—
means fuel saving.
8. Handsome insulated green jacket finished in baked-on-enamel,
extends clear to the floor.
9. Large doors mean easy firing and easy ash removal.
10. Clinkers cannot force grates out of position — non-jumping
sockets keep them in place.
11. Greater ceiling surface than in ordinary boilers. More water
surface is exposed to heat which means saving in fuel.
ii. A quick installation — free from leaks — is assured because all
Crane Boilers are assembled at the factory and tested before
shipment.

CRANE COAL-FIRED BOILERS
CRANE NO. 110
SECTIONAL BOILER
Similar to the Crane No. 10 Boiler but designed to sell at a lower
price, the No. no can well be said to give the greatest dollar's
worth of heating satisfaction. The handsome dark green jacket
extends to the base and is of baked-on enamel — easy to clean. This
new boiler has enlarged flue area and the Crane patented water
travel to assure maximum economy. Large doors are a great
convenience in firing, and handles are insulated. Grates are
non- jumping.
This boiler is designed for coal firing by hand or stoker or may be
equipped with an oil burner. May also be had with an external
hot water heater to provide a supply of hot water for laundry,
kitchen and bath if desired. Crane Quality throughout, designed
to give the maximum heating satisfaction and to assure years
of comfort.
CRANE NO. 2
SECTIONAL BOILER
For the large house, or the building requiring a boiler
of greater heating capacity than the No. 10 or the no,
the Crane No. i Boiler is recommended. Compact in
design, highly efficient, this sturdy member of the
Crane line of Boilers is highly efficient. The patented
Crane water travel actually represents a saving in fuel
dollars. The jacket of this boiler is dark green with a
baked-on enamel finish. May be had with an attached
domestic water heater if desired, and may be used for
hand-firing or stoker firing, of coal or with an oil
burner.

The Sustained Heat Principle, ex-
clusive with Crane, prevents the
escape of heat when the burner shuts
off. The trapped hot gases are con-
fined at the top of the boiler and are
conducted downward as they cool,
released only when their heat has been utilized.
Incorporated in this boiler is the Crane patented baffle
which controls water travel forcing it to flow over the
heating surfaces countercurrent to the hot gases. This
assures the water being heated quickly — efficiently. The
Sustained Heat Boiler together with the burner is com-
pletely enclosed in an insulated steel jacket which has a
heavy green enamel finish baked on. It has an indirect
water heater which will provide large quantities of hot
water for laundry, bath and kitchen day and night, summer
and winter at very low cost.
The Crane Conservoil Burner is concealed beneath the
jacket.
Fin-Type Oil Burning Boiler
w
Luxurious heat — a comfortable, healthful home this
winter and for many winters to come, without lifting
your finger — this is possible with the Crane Fin-
Type Boiler.
The Fin-Type is engineered for efficient and econom-
ical burning of oil. The extra long flues, cast with
myriad of fins, absorb more heat from the gases—
assure a high boiler efficiency.
All sections of the Fin-Type Boiler are machine-ground, assuring a
close, tight fit. This prevents escape of gases and the infiltration of
air. The back section is curved for added strength.
The handsome metal jacket has a heavy corrugated asbestos insulation
keeping the heat inside — assuring a boiler so cool you can keep your
hand against it at any time. A built in indirect water heater may be
had with the boiler, which supplies ample quantities of hot water at
very low cost. This heater may be used summer or winter and is an
easy solution to the problem of hot water for laundry, bath and
kitchen.

CRANE GAS FIRED BOILERS
Crane Basmor Boiler
The Crane Basmor Boiler meets every requirement of
house heating with either manufactured or natural
gas. Safe and trouble-free, its operation is completely
automatic, convenient and economical. Crane Basmor
controls are designed to protect against every emer-
gency—even against the failure of the controls them-
selves. High efficiency is attained through Crane Bas-
mor staggered fin construction by which hot gases
are thrown backward and forward and sidewise, set-
ting up a swirling or spiral motion that scrubs every
square inch of heat-absorbing surface. There are three
models in Crane Basmor Boilers — Series xo 9 Series x$
and Series 40 — covering a wide range of heating
demands.
TO MAKE YOUR PRESENT SYSTEM AUTOMATIC
Conservoil Burner Autocoal Stoker
The Conservoil Burner
presents the latest de-
velopment in the
simple, efficient burn-
ing of oil. A specially
designed fan and hous-
ing keep the air mov-
ing at a steady rate of
flow and the Conservoil
Burner thus assures
quiet, steady action.
The "floating flame" burns in complete suspension, giving
clean operation. The Conservoil presents a host of other de-
sirable features. For example, the blower and air control
housing are cast as a single unit to assure perfect alignment
and quick, easy interchangeability of parts. Then, too, the
design of the burner is extremely simple with only one moving
part. The Conservoil is precision made throughout, smartly
and attractively finished.
The Autocoal Stoker will give you the luxury of comfort,
convenience, and an even temperature day and night, with
freedom from work or worry.
The Autocoal Stoker, by proper combustion, obtains more
heat units from the fuel; handles smaller sizes and cheaper
grades efficiently; and by keeping temperature even, saves
much fuel which would otherwise be wasted in the form
of gases and smoke up the chimney.
Because of the principle of forced under-feed firing, com-
bustion is so nearly complete that the smoke nuisance is
eliminated, and there is no loose ash.
Because of the great convenience of stoker firing and the
money that can be saved on the fuel bills the Autocoal is
recommended for every coal burning installation.
23
CRANE CONVECTORS
Heating Units which conform to modern demands
of interior decorative treatment — attractive in
appearance, out of the way, yet very efficient.
The most modern, efficient and convenient form of heating is
with the NEW Crane Convectors. Concealed in the wall
where they are out of the way, Crane Convectors deliver a
constant current of heated air into the room, removing the
cold air at the same time.
The standard Crane Convector will fit in with any decorative
treatment. It has a simple stamped grille that is both neat
and attractive.
Crane Convectors are also made with removable grille either
of stamped steel or moulded plastic. Plastic grille may be had
in a variety of beautiful colors.
The heating element is of cast iron with a multitude of fins,
integrally cast. Can be had for steam, vapor, vacuum or hot
water systems. Heating elements are 6 inches high and may
be had in any length from 13 to 18 inches to 100 inches in steps
of 1 y 2 inches. Will fit into any size room or available wall
space. These are responsible for the heating efficiency of the
whole unit.
CRANE RADIATORS
Crane Radiators assure warmth and comfort from heat deliver-
ed by the boiler. Compact and symmetrical, they are designed
for beauty and efficiency and are quickly and easily cleaned.
The Crane Radiator assembly method assures tight joints,
greater economy of space and increased strength. It means
longer life and satisfactory service because the tube sections
are permanently joined. Made in 2., 3, 4, 5, 6 and 7 tube styles
in a wide variety of heights suitable in any installation.
In designing Crane cast iron radiators, con-
sideration was given to the shape of the
tubes to provide greater heating surface
and increase radiation. Sufficient space was
allowed between the tubes to make clean-
ing easy. The slim columns and clean
vertical lines present a well-proportioned
symmetry.
Crane direct radiators are made in many
styles and sizes — low ones to go under
windows, wall and ceiling radiators, spe-
cial space-saving types for bathrooms, even
radiators without legs, if desired. They
range from 14 to 38 inches in height and
are made two, three, four, five, six or
seven tubes wide.

GAS and ELECTRIC WATER HEATERS
<^
's© X>\\
Hot water — piping hot — all you want any
time night or day— no delay — just turn the
faucet— that is a convenience made possible
by a Crane Water Heater — either gas or
electric.
Steaming hot water helps in dishwashing,
aids in the laundry, encourages the habit of
cleanliness with the children. An abundant
supply saves the annoyance of finding the
water running cold just when it is needed
most. And when sickness strikes, having hot water available, even
in the dead of night is a blessing. A hot shower instantly ready is a
luxury made possible with a Crane Water Heater.
Fortunately, the luxury of such hot water service is economical.
Crane Water Heaters are more careful of gas or electric bills than
you could be. The gas shuts off the instant the water reaches the
exact degree determined. It turns on the split-second it is needed.
The operation is thrifty, as only a fully automatic, fully insulated
water heater could be.
There are styles, prices, and sizes of Crane Water Heaters for every
home. Get complete information about them before you decide.
WARLO WATER
CONDITIONING
No matter what its source — municipal, private
well, river, lake, spring or cistern — several things
may be wrong with the water you use. It may be
discolored, it may have a disagreeable taste or
odor, it may be hard, corrosive or actually dirty.
In TODAY'S home, people have automatic heat —
they have conditioned air — but
the problem of water and its
quality is equally important.
A few facts worth considering
are really astonishing: The
water used by the average home owner shortens the life of
clothes, increases the cost of heating, harms the complex-
ion and even makes vegetables tough and less appetizing.
We will make water analyses without obligation and
recommendations will be cheerfully given, Without
definite knowledge of your water supply, you may
needlessly pay for that mistake for years.
Whatever your problem there is a Warlo unit to fit your
needs. All are simple to operate and require a minimum
of attention. Be sure to consider well this added con-
venience that actually pays for itself.

ALL THE WATER YOU NEED
A Plentiful Supply of Water
whether Your Home
is in Town Suburb
or Country
TJUNNING water -
-^ lots of it, at the turn
of a faucet — is a conven-
ience now considered a
necessity to modern
civilization. No matter
where you are - - w^hat
your source of supply — spring or lake, deep well
or river — a Crane running w r ater system will as-
sure you ample quantities and bring to you all
those conveniences running water can give. In
rural communities, on farms and in small towns,
in summer cottages and filling stations, or resorts,
the necessity of running water is obvious — a
necessity filled automatically and economically
by a Crane pump.
Just as important is the adaptation of Crane pumps
to homes in larger communities already supplied
with a water system. Here, particularly during
the summer months, pressure often falls, and
water is difficult to obtain, particularly above
the first floor. A Crane booster pump in the base-
ment will not only provide increased quantities
of water, but will assure adequate supplies
throughout the house on all floors. This service
is particularly important in homes of more than
one story and in new communities where large-
scale building has overtaxed the water supplv.
CRANE DEEP
WELL PUMPS
Crane Deep Well Pumps
assure year-round water
supply when the source is
a deep well. Newly de-
signed and ruggedly built
Crane Deep Well Pumps
offer the maximum in ser-
vice as well as in low cost
operation.
D~60 Pumps and Water
Systems pump 170 to 550
gallons per hour.
D-9 Pumps and Water
Systems pump 2 30 to 980
gallons per hour.
CRANE SHALLOW WELL PUMPS
A new pump of modern design, quiet in ®
action possessing high efficiency.
Models K-250 and K-375 Pumps and Water
Systems for service requiring up to 3 50
gallons per hour at 40 pounds pressure.
Models SC-25 and SC-30 designed for heavy-
duty service, requiring a capacity of 330
gallons per hour at 7 5 pounds pressure.
Models S-40 and S-50 Pumps and Water
Systems for service requiring a pumping
capacity up to 5 50 gallons per hour at "I
pounds pressure.

make your home more
convenient and comfortable
A dream home is visioned as comfortable, live-
able and suited to the owner's needs. You want
those qualities at a cost within your means. You
want your home cozy and convenient — a pleasure
for years to come. Then for maximum happiness,
plan to simplify the necessary household duties,
eliminate the needless tasks and save countless
steps. Such planning changes homemaking from a
chore to a joy. The time and energy thus saved
are then available for the pursuit of happiness
and a more comfortable living.
Donley Devices help you realize these aims
economically. Donley fireplace furnishings and
equipment insure a charming, cheery, successful
fireplace — a gathering place for the family — an
ideal place for friends to meet. The many Donley
convenience items are like extra servants in your
home — built-in servants that simplify the duties
and save time.
Donley Devices help make life worth living,
for in truth, "Donley Devices complete the
home". These home friends are described and
illustrated on the following pages.
*
A Successful Fireplace
The test of a successful fireplace lies in how much
the owner is tempted to use it. Properly equipped
and properly built, it is a source of constant delight
— a cheery gathering place for congenial groups,
the center of the family circle. In some homes, how-
ever, the fireplace stands cold and unfrequented
most of the time, usually a sign that there is some-
thing wrong with it. Perhaps it smokes — perhaps it
radiates little heat for the fuel consumed — perhaps
it lacks facilities for ash removal, making that task
a nuisance.
The enjoyment of the finished fireplace is so impor-
tant, and correcting a faultily built fireplace is so
expensive, that it pays to take pains with the origi-
nal construction. The Donley Brothers Company
has devoted much research and experimentation to
developing the principles of successful fireplace
construction and has made this information avail-
able to everyone. Abbreviated directions and prin-
ciples of construction are given on the next two
pages of this book and on the instruction sheet
attached to each fireplace damper.
The complete story and full information is pre-
sented in the "Donley Book of Successful Fire-
places." It will be sent promptly upon request and
is well worth its moderate cost of 25c (in Canada
35c). In addition to a complete explanation of prin-
ciples, it contains
more than 200 pic-
tures of attractive
fireplaces and a
history of fireplace
development. This
book also includes
pages of suggested
Mantel designs, as
well as chapters on
Dutch Ovens and
outdoor fireplaces.
M
How to Build
A Successful Fireplace
Home owners who decide
on a fireplace want a free-
burning, warmth-producing
and non-smoking fireplace.
Such a fireplace costs no
more than one incorrectly
built, yet gives a great deal
more enjoyment. A success-
ful fireplace is one that is
correctly built. It is assured
by following the construc-
tion principles given here.
The drawings on the next
page, together with the table
of dimensions, are valuable
in building a successful fire-
place. Detailed dimensions
are given for 12 typical sizes
of fireplaces. These details
represent the results of
years of experience. If these
directions are followed com-
plete satisfaction is assured.

taken from U. S. Gov-
ernment pamphlet.
Size of Fireplace Opening
should be appropriate to
width of wall and size of
room. Good appearance prompts a wider opening
if fireplace is located on the long wall of room.
One rule is that there be 5 sq. in. of opening for
each sq. ft. of floor area.
If flue is already built, the opening nmst conform
to flue size. See table of dimensions on page 7.
Also see table and comments on page 14.
Smoke Shelf as shown in the diagram arrests down
draft and with valve plate of damper, as shown,
keeps smoke from blowing into the room.
The Damper should be set with the turned-up
flange against the front wall and the rear flange
resting on the smoke shelf. The opening of damper
should not be directly under the flue but forward
of it. Damper should be 3 to 9" above the fireplace
opening.
The Smoke Chamber is just above the damper, its
sides sloping equally at the rate of about 7" to each
foot in height. Smooth, unobstructed walls are best.
A Separate Flue, with size of opening not less than
1/12 the area of the fireplace opening, should be
provided for each fireplace. The flue should start
at the top of the smoke chamber, directly over the
center of it, and rise to a height of not less than
three feet above the highest point of the roof. If it
is necessary to slant the flue to bring it to its de-
sired place in the chimney stack, the slope should
not exceed eight inches per foot of rise.
Areas of Flue Sections. The outside dimensions for
standard terra cotta flue linings most used in fire-
place work have inside areas as follows: 8%"x8y2"
= 52.56 square inches; 8y 2 "xl3" = 80.50 square
inches; 13"xl3" = 126.56 square inches; 8y 2 "xl8" =
109.86 square inches; 13"xl8" = 182.84 square
inches; 18"xl8" = 248.06 square inches.

Illustrating heat radiation from fireplace having properly
designed side and rear walls
Hearth Shape should be as shown in the plan, its
sides going straight back for about 4", then nar-
rowed at the rate of 5" for each foot. The impor-
tance of this shape is shown in the diagram above
which indicates how heat radiated against the walls
is reflected out into the room instead of wasted up
the chimney.
Rear Wall should be plumb for from 14 to 16", then
sloped forward to form smoke shelf and support
the damper. This shape deflects heat forward into
the room; smoke and gases pass through the
damper.

Fireplace Details and
Dimensions
Different features of a fireplace bear
a close relationship to each other so
that a disproportion between parts
may result in an unsatisfactory fire-
place. The drawings at the left show
an elevation, plan and cross-sec-
tional view of a correctly designed
fireplace and a table of dimensions.
The letters at the top of the columns
in the table refer to the same letters
in the drawings above. Thus if is
easy to find all dimensions for any
of the 12 typical sizes by using the
table and drawings together. Where
individual conditions necessitate
changes, the experience and advice
of Donley engineers is available for
the asking.
The starting point of all calcula-
tions is the width of fireplace open-
ing when finished. When this has
been decided, locate that width in
the first column of the table below.
The next column gives an appro-
priate height. Following to the right
are the other finished dimensions.
By looking at the plan, the reader
will discover that the visible fire-
place is encased in walls of rough
brickwork. The proper dimensions
for the rough brickwork and cor-
rect flue size are indicated in the
second division of the table. In
other parts of the table are listed
the equipment to be used. Blank
spaces have been left where choice
is a matter of personal taste.
NOTES
A — The back flange of the damper must be
protected from intense heat by being fully
supported by the back wall masonry. Damper
should not be built in solidly at the ends. It
should be left free to expand, as shown in the
front elevation view.
B — The drawing indicates thickness of brick
fireplace front as four inches. No definite di-
mension can be given for this because the
various materials used, such as marble, stone,
tile, etc., have various thicknesses.
C — These hollow spaces should be filled to
form solid backing. If desirable to include a
fireplace flue in either space, outside dimen-
sions should be increased.
D — A good way to build a smoke chamber is
to erect a wooden form consisting of two
sloping boards at the sides, held apart by
spreaders at the top and bottom and nailed
upward into cleats as shown. Letters H, M,
J, etc., correspond to letters on elevation
above. Form boards should have the same
width as flue lining. For those who desire it,
we make a steel smoke chamber.
The sectional view above shows a rotary con-
trol type of damper. On page 8 both rotary
and poker control dampers are illustrated.

Donley Fireplace Dampers
Because the throat is important in the operation of
the fireplace, it is essential that a carefully de-
signed, thoroughly tested Donley Damper be used.
The Donley Damper provides efficient draft control
and a smooth, correctly proportioned throat pas-
sage for smoke and fumes. Installed according to
directions, it promotes correct construction of other
details of the fireplace.
Narrow Throat. The Donley Damper has a narrow
throat which offers two important advantages.
With damper correctly placed against the fireplace
front, there is room for the backwall to slope for-
ward enough to reflect maximum heat into the
room. Also this narrow throat enables the damper
to be set, not under the flue, but forward of it so
that down draft is pocketed on the smoke shelf
back of the uplifted valve plate.
Narrow Front Flange. Notice the strong, narrow
front flange on the Donley Damper. This permits
the correct forward position of the damper without
fitting between masonry courses — a particular ad-
vantage where the opening is arched or where fac-
ing material is stone, marble or tile.
Choice of Operating Device. The large illustration
above is that of the Donley Rotary Gontrol Damper,
opened or closed by turning a polished knob at the
front of the fireplace. As regularly supplied, this
knob is at the center. The damper is also made
with the knob located at right of the center. Poker
and chain control dampers are described at right.
Made of Cast Iron. The Donley Damper is made from
rust-resisting,
high grade
cast iron,
good for years
of service,
providing de-
pendable
draft control
and maximum
heat with a
minimum of
fuel required.
Poker Gontrol
A ring projects downward from the center of this
Donley Damper. The damper is opened by pulling
forward on a poker hooked into this ring. To close,
lift slightly and push back. This control device is
less conspicuous, though less convenient than the
rotary control, shown above.
Chain Control
This Donley Dome Damper has the valve
plate pivoted in the center. It is opened
and closed by pulling one of the two
chains that hang at the left. Manufac-
tured to meet an occasional demand, this damper
is made in three popular sizes (see table on next
page).
Completely Assembled and Crated
Every Donley Damper comes fully assembled
(which saves time), and in a crate that protects
THE DONLEY BROTHERS CO.
against breakage. Attached to the crate is a copy
of the Donley Plan Sheet of Fireplace Construction,
giving full details, diagrams and cautions to help in
building a successful fireplace.

Cantilever Hearth Assembly
The Cantilever Hearth Assembly makes it easy for
the mason to construct a substantial fire-safe hearth
slab of concrete, supported entirely by the chimney
masonry. Finished hearth surface of tile, brick, etc~,
is applied over this slab as usual. This Cantilever
method of construction prevents hearth cracks
which may occur due to uneven settling where sup-
port is partly by floor timbers and partly by chim-
ney masonry.
The assembly consists of corrugated steel sheets
which are laid on top of the ashpit wall according
to sketches below 7 , and reinforcing rods provided
with self-supporting offset "feet" which hold them
at proper height to reinforce the slab. Concrete is
poured over the pans to the required thickness of
3% inches.

Donley Heatsaver Fireplace
Patent No. 2151016
The Donley Heatsaver Fireplace is a distinct im-
provement in fireplace usefulness and satisfaction.
It supplements the radiant heat from the open
flames with a generous amount of circulating warm
air that reaches every corner of the room. With the
use of the Heatsaver, the fireplace becomes a real
heating plant, while retaining every feature of
homey coziness and good cheer.
The Donley Heatsaver unit is built along the lines
of warm air furnace, having a heating chamber sur-
rounding the fire. With a fire burning in the grate,
air from the room flows into the heating chamber,
becomes heated, then Hows out into the room, warm
and satisfying. Not only do you have the pleasant
glow of an open fire but the luxury of comfortable
warmth as well.
Insures Correct Construction — The Heatsaver has
the added advantage of minimizing the risk of an
unsatisfactory fireplace. It is complete, including
the damper — a correctly proportioned metal unit,
which protects the home owner from the errors of
inexperienced workmen. The inside of the fireplace
is already accurately built. With Heatsaver cor-
rectly installed, the home owner can be sure of
having a successful fireplace.
As a Main Heating Plant — A cottage
needs no other heating plant than
this Donley Heatsaver Fireplace. The
small investment, together with the
cheerfulness of a crackling fire, has
induced many owners to specify a Donley Heatsaver
when the total heating load was within the Heat-
saver range of from 12,900 B.t.u.'s to 39,300 B.t.u.'s
per hour.
M.-&(kj&ite
As an Auxiliary — In the larger home
with central heating plant the Donley
Heatsaver, as an auxiliary source of
heat, carries the heating load for chilly
days in spring and fall. At such times
it is hardly necessary to build a fire in the furnace.
The Heatsaver Fireplace is inexpensive to operate
and effectively takes the chill from the house. For
the larger homes in mild climates, no furnace is re-
quired if Donley Heatsaver Fireplaces are provided.
A Cabin Heating Plant — For cabins
and summer cottages, use a Heatsaver
Hf as the sole source of heat. On chilly
evenings you will appreciate its
ruddy warmth and friendliness. The heating capac-
ity of this engineered Heatsaver Fireplace will sur-
prise you.
For Churches and Clubs — Many
times it is desired to warm only one
or two rooms in a church or club
building. A committee meeting, or-
ganization or board of directors meet-
ing is often called for a time when
the rest of the building is not in use. Firing the
boiler on the main heating plant is entirely unnec-
essary if a Heatsaver Fireplace is available. This
fireplace easily heats the one or two rooms in an
economical way. At the same time its friendly,
merry fire makes the gathering a cheerful one.
...
1— Large warm air chamber. 2 — Warm air ducts
equalize the heat. 3 — Heavy, lasting smoke shelf.
4 — Integral damper, poker controlled. 5 — Convec-
tion sheets keep outer shell at low temperature.
6— Large area, cool air inlet gives freedom in plac-
ing of intake grilles.

Installing The Heatsaver Fireplace
Heating Only One Room
Many installations of the Heatsaver
Fireplace are designed for heating
only one room — the room in which
the fireplace is located. The draw-
ing at the left shows the unit used
on this type of installation. The
outer casing of the unit is of bright,
galvanized steel. Openings are eas-
ily cut in this casing for attaching
two round furnace pipes leading to
the warm air outlet grilles. Grilles
may be on the front face of a fire-
place that does not project into the
room or at the sides of a fireplace
that projects out from the wall. The
view below shows such an installa-
tion. When desired, the unit is built
with a center outlet below the mantle, as shown in the column at
the left. While perfectly satisfactory, this center grille is not essen-
tial when heating only one room.
Number of Warm Air Outlets — Regardless of the number of rooms
to be heated, even when used for heating only one room, be sure to
provide sufficient outlets from the Heatsaver. Heat is wasted if air
cannot flow freely through the heating chamber. For maximum
heat from your Heatsaver Fireplace, follow the directions for num-
ber and size of outlets as shown in table on page 15.
Note — Outlets need not conform to those illustrated installations as
regards location. The flexibility of the installation is one of the
many advantages of the Heatsaver Fireplace.
Heating More
Than One Room
Where the Heatsaver Fireplace is
used to heat two or more rooms, we
recommend the type of casing
shown above, having a center outlet
at the fireplace front in addition to
the two upper outlets. This center
outlet delivers warm circulating
air in the fireplace room in addition
to the heat radiating from the fire.
The outlets from the upper part of
the unit are directed to other
rooms, either adjoining or on the
floor above.

Heat Output
The amount of heat obtained from any size Heatsaver is unusually great
(see table of heat output in B.t.u. 's below). There are four main reasons
for this extra volume of heat.
First, the Heatsaver makes use of the heated surface above the fire as
well as the surfaces surrounding the fire. Illustration at the right shows
the area in square inches of heating surface in the 34-inch unit. For
other sizes see table below.
Second, special economizer tubes take air
from the hottest areas and pass it through
the smoke chamber where it picks up addi-
tional heat.
Third, there are heat radiating fins on the
heating surfaces. These fins (see sketch) act
as added radiating surfaces. Another func-
tion of the fins is reinforcing the heating
surfaces for added strength and long life.
This indicates amount of heating surface
above and below the smoke shelf.
Rear view with casing removed
showing convection sheets.
Fourth, the ingenious convection sheets (see
illustration at left) guide the moving air so
that it passes directly over the heated sur-
faces. These sheets keep all the air in mo-
tion, divert the warm air from the outer cas-
ing and prevent pocketing of heated air. The convection sheets and streamlined
air flow of Heatsaver design remove all the available heat from the heating
surfaces and transfer it to the room where it produces comfort. Another advan-
tage of the non-pocketing feature of Heatsavers is that it eliminates the need
for an insulating blanket.

Sturdy Construction
The Heatsaver is built to give a life-
time of dependable service and satisfac-
tory performance. Walls of the fire
chamber are of steel, ^ inch thick. The
smoke shelf, which takes the most
abuse, is %-inch thick steel. Other structural parts are of 12-gauge steel, rein-
forced with steel angles, and outer casing is 26-gauge galvanized steel.
All joints and fastenings of the Heatsaver are electric arc-welded for maximum
strength.

Location of Gold Air Inlets
These drawings show the variety of
possible locations for cold air inlets.
Some locations are visible in the views
of actual installations. The only strict
requirement for cold air inlets is that
they allow sufficient air to enter the
unit. Greatest efficiency is attained
only when the inlets and outlets are
of ample size.

Method of Attaching to Flue
To avoid mortar dropping inside the Heatsaver, it
may be placed in recess after masonry is roughed
in. Cut the openings in the casing for warm air
outlets before the unit is set.
The Heatsaver is then set in masonry recess with
flange of collar resting in flue opening and directly
under the flue. The upper side of the flange of col-
lar is buttered with mortar, then pushed up as
shown and mortar filled in below the flange to seal
the connection.

\ Abovt
At the left is a drawing
showing various positions
and directions of warm
air outlet pipes.
Pipes should be round.
The required capacity is
secured more easily with
round pipes. Elbows and
angles are made more
easily. Rectangular ducts
with required pipe area
for most installations
will not fit the top of the
Heatsaver, due to limi-
tations enforced by the
angle supporting the
chimney masonry.
If necessary to use rec-
tangular pipe in meeting
some special condition,
To join pipe to casing, snip
narrow leaves around pipe
as shown. Bend alternate
leaves at right angle and
place against casing. Then
bend leaves passing through
casing in the same manner.
Finish with collar of asbes-
tos fabric and cement.
we recommend that round pipe be run from the
Heatsaver to a point where it is necessary to
change. The change can be made to rectangular
pipe by means of a foot piece. Warm air passages
may be formed with masonry or other incom-
bustible material, but bright metal ducts are more
efficient.
If the center warm air outlet is used, notice that
although the outlet of unit as shown is 12" high, the
grille to be used is only 6" high. This permits a
choice of elevation to fit different mantel designs.
Donley Cabinet Heatsaver Fireplace
Here is a fireplace that comes to you complete,
needing only to be set on the hearth and connected
to the flue to afford a practical, comfortable, at-
tractive heating unit in which the glow of the open
fire is supplemented by a flow of heated air.
The Donley Cabinet Fireplace is a self-contained
Heatsaver Unit, with its outer shell attractively
lacquered — a harmonious and welcome addition to
living room, boudoir, or any part of your premises.
Convection sheets in the warm air chamber keep
the outer surface relatively cool, so that there is no
danger in touching it or placing it in proximity to
your wall, book shelves or other furniture. While
tastefully finished, you may wish to redecorate it at
some time in harmony with your particular decora-
tive scheme and this is perfectly feasible.
Installation is simplicity itself. The Donley Brothers
Company offers a portable hearth, on which the
Cabinet Fireplace rests, or you may choose to con-
struct a more permanent hearth. The other require-
ment is a flue to which the Cabinet Fireplace may
be connected by means of an extension collar at
the back. If a masonry chimney is lacking, a metal
chimney affords a simple solution.
Donley Cabinet Fireplaces are made in two sizes,
with 26-inch and 34-inch opening, respectively. The
latter is a popular size for living rooms, club rooms
and offices. The former fits convenientlv into small-
er rooms. Minimum flue size required is 8 1 / 2 x8 1 /2
for No. 26 and 8y 2 xl3 for No. 34.
If you have a cold room, a Cabinet Fireplace will
convert it from mere useless space into a charming
and welcome addition to your establishment. Many
older homes have rooms that were originally
heated by stoves. The flue remains, and a Cabinet
Fireplace imparts a warmth and cheerfulness hith-
erto unknown.
Write for full details about the Cabinet Fireplace
and learn how easily you can have all the cheer of
an efficient, modern, attractive heating unit.

Burns Coal or Wood
The Donley Fire Basket
17
i j 1 f
SIMPLE, graceful and correctly designed, the Don-
ley Fireplace Basket is sturdy enough to stand hard
usage for many years. It is a product of the Donley
policy of coordinating every feature of the fireplace
with every other part. The basket is narrow at the
back to coincide with the side wall angle of a prop-
erly designed fireplace.
Made of the best quality stove plate cast iron, this
basket will not warp under uneven distribution of
heat. The back legs are provided with rollers which
make it easy to move the basket on the hearth.
A highly advantageous feature is the design of the
fire basket ends. These are removable, making it
possible to burn wood of any length that will fit the
fireplace. In many homes the wish to burn coal and
wood alternately is complicated by the nuisance of
removing the whole basket. With a Donley Basket,
simply lift out the ends and the basket is ready for
burning logs. Careful design and construction avoid
possibility that these ends will warp or fall out.
There is no dump bottom to become dislodged. The
graceful lines of the Donley Fire Basket avoid
eccentricities and harmonize with any interior.
This illustration
shows how the
ends of the Don-
ley Fire Basket
can be removed
for burning logs
longer than the
basket itself.
These ends are
easy to remove or
to set in place.

Donley Log Rests
For the fireplace where only wood is burned, Don-
ley Log Rests are fuel holders of long life and re-
sistance to heat. One pair is generally sufficient for
a fireplace although three or four are sometimes
used in wide fireplaces with short logs. When used
with andirons, the andiron supports slide under the
log rests as shown in illustration at the left. In out-
door fireplaces, log rests handily support a grid or
grille for cooking. Made in two lengths, 16" and
20", weighing respectively 41 and 48 pounds. Sup-
porting surface is 5%* high and 4%" wide.

Build An Outdoor Fireplace
Th e rapidly
growing popu-
larity of outdoor
cooking has in-
tensified the in-
terest in outdoor
fireplaces. Don-
ley Brothers
show here equip-
ment for such
fireplaces and a
few of the popular designs. More information and
other designs are contained in the book "Successful
Outdoor Fireplaces," sent for 10c in coin or stamps.
Outdoor fireplaces are divided into three distinct
types. One resembles the indoor fireplace but has
a shorter chimney (except when built beside the
house or garage). Its purpose is mainly for warmth
and cheer, any cooking is done with forks as at a
wiener roast. The second type is built on the princi-
ple of an old fashioned cook stove. There is also a
newer version combining the advantage of both. It
is shown on the next page as the all-purpose design,
unit No. 70.
In addition to the masonry, the cooking type of fire-
place requires certain metal equipment. These
metal assemblies are standardized to popular sizes
and simplify masonry construction. In different
combinations they meet a wide variety of fireplace
designs. Artistic treatment is often combined with
utility features, some masonry designs being quite
elaborate, but still useful and permanent.
Proper Support Is Im-
portant. In frostless cli-
mates, a shallow founda-
tion is enough. But
where frost is a factor,
two alternatives are pos-
3 sible. Masonry may go
below the frost line, or
a small fireplace may be supported on a reinforced
concrete slab, of dimensions somewhat larger than
the area of the structure. Large, heavy structures
should have foundations that extend below the frost
line.
Unit No. 10 is
used in building
this simple form
of outdoor fire-
place. Grates on
two levels, one
above the other
support fire and
utensils. Three
sizes available,
see table on page
23.
Unit No. 20 is
made in two
styles, No. 20-A
with one door and
No. 20-B with two
doors. At the right

show some of the

No. 30 Unit. This charcoal
stove type unit can be used
either in public parks or at
home. Especially adapted for
park use, since all parts are
securely fastened in place, pre-
venting pilfering. May be used
as shown in view at the left
for private use, or anchored
as shown in the installation

Unit No. 40. View at the left
shows a simple installation of
the Donley Duplex Steak Grill.
Masonry recess is 12" wide, 20"
deep and 24" to 30" high. At the
right, Grill is shown combined
with other units. Illustration
above shows sturdy baskets
and the frames which are built
into the masonry. No. 40 Unit also includes a removable top
grate which permits other cooking uses. Grill cooks both
sides of steak or other meat at the same time. Users say a
steak cooks in three or four minutes.
Unit No. 60. The Dutch Oven is included in a fireplace for
baking or reheating food. A charcoal fire on the lower grate
or hot coals from the main fire are used for heat. A larger and
separate flue is necessary if other fuel is used. Drawing at the
right above, shows a Unit No. 60 Dutch Oven in a fireplace
combining Units No. 20-B and No. 40.
All-Purpose Design
Unit No. 70. The two purpose design shown at the right com-
bines cooking facilities and warmth in one fireplace. The up-
per part like an indoor fireplace radiates heat. The lower
part is the cooking grill, generally depending on charcoal for
fuel to avoid
Portable Duplex Steak Grill
smoke.
When used for a
cheerful blaze,
the grates at the
hearth level are
pushed to the
rear, to support
the fuel and afford some additional draft. When used for
cooking, these upper grates are pulled forward to support
cooking operations, while the charcoal fire, or hot embers,
are supported by the grate six inches below. The space below
is for ashes.
The table below tells what equipment is included in each unit.

Donley Package Receiver
For Safer Deliveries . . . Fewer Interruptions
Every modern home should have a Donley Package
Receiver installed in an outside wall of the kitchen
or entry. This insulated steel receptacle received
deliveries of packages, bread, milk, newspapers,
etc., and holds them safely until removed. It cares
for deliveries when no one is at home or when the
occupants are busy at other tasks. This package
receiver stops doorstep deliveries, stops losses from
prowling cats, dogs and petty thieves, and keeps
strange men out of the house.
When packages are placed in the receiver and outer
door is closed, it locks automatically. When the in-
side door is opened, the outside door is automatic-
ally unlocked, ready for the next delivery. This
automatic feature can be disconnected at will. It is
standard equip-
ment on Nos. 1
and 2, and is
omitted on Nos.
3 and 4.
The insulated
and ventilated
features of the
Donley Package
Receiver protect
the contents from excessive cold in winter or heat
in summer. The package receiver is complete in
itself, nothing else to buy, no upkeep expense and
is approved by the Good Housekeeping Institute.
Because it is in use every day, its installation in new
or old homes increases their salability. It is inex-
pensive, easily installed and gives long, trouble-free
service. The brass and steel construction (no break-
able cast iron) insures free swinging doors at all
times, a condition not possible with wood or other
materials that are sensitive to changes of weather.

Each receiver is thoroughly painted with a high
grade priming coat while the locks and catches are
made of brass or rust-proofed steel.

For a Clean Foundation. A Donley Foundation
Coal Chute protects the foundation of a new home
from the disfiguring scars and dirt of coal de-
liveries. The strong metal frames of these chutes
cannot be broken by flying pieces of coal and the
doors when opened protect the siding or masonry
wall above the chute from damage. The attractive-
ness of Donley Coal Chutes is shown in the photo-
graphs on this page.
More Convenient— Burglar Proof. Other advan-
tages of the Donley Coal Chute are the greater con-
venience for the home owner and protection
against burglars. The automatic spring lock on
Donley Coal Chutes is released from inside the
house by a chain pull fastened to the lock. After a
coal delivery has been made, the coal man closes
the door and the lock snaps into place. This lock
on the inside of the door is proof against forcing
by thieves.
Where Furnace Burns Gas or Oil. Even when a
home is to have an oil or gas furnace, a coal chute
should be provided for deliveries of coal or wood
for use in the fireplace. For this reason the coal
chute should be included in every new home.
Description. Donley Coal Chutes are made in sizes
and for w T all thicknesses as listed in table on the
next page. All these coal chutes have bodies made
of rust-resisting copper steel. Frames and hinges
are malleable iron or copper bearing steel. The
hinges are made so that the door is held open in
vertical position to protect the wall above the chute.
Automatic spring locks have chain pulls for releas-
ing the latch from the inside. The solid metal doors
are formed from heavy gauge steel and are at-
tractively paneled. Glass door chutes are also
formed of heavy steel and the three panes of glass
are protected
with a shield
when door is
open, yet are eas-
ily replaced if
broken.
The sizes of glass
doors are listed,
both having
three-lights with
the glass bedded
in cork, held in
place by clips
made of oil tem-
pered steel, Park-
erized to resist
rust.

Types of Foundation Chutes
The table above lists thirteen different types of
Foundation (or Wall) Chutes. They differ in regard
to the doors, whether solid metal or glass, also as to
slanting or straight bottoms, as to the availability
of hoppers and also as to dimensions.
Glass Doors— The doors of glass door models are
fabricated from steel sections. They contain three
panes of glass bedded in cork and held in place by
special steel spring clips.
Frames — Five of the chutes listed have copper steel
and eight have frames of malleable iron. The bot-
tom of the chute may be straight or sloping, accord-
ing to the kind ordered.
Hoppers — Increasing use of slide chutes by delivery
men has lessened the demand for a hopper on the

Grade Line Coal Chutes
Many charming homes are built with floors near the
ground level, making it impractical to use the types
of chute previously described. For such, is the Don-
ley Grade Line Chute, with horizontal opening at the
level of the lawn or drive. It is also useful for stores
or business buildings.
This chute has the same protective advantages as the
foundation chute. When coal is delivered, its door
turns up against the building, shielding it from fly-
ing fuel. Its automatic lock is released from the in-
side by pulling a chain from a point outside the bin.
The heavy malleable iron frame on No. 1 and No. 2
is made with a gutter to prevent water entering cel-
lar. Frame on No. 10 is a special steel section welded
at the corners, which door overlaps. Lip prevents
water entering cellar. The gutter of No. 1 and No. 2
has an outlet outside the chute, which may be con-
nected by a pipe to a drain tile and thus to the house
drain. Pipe connection is furnished without extra
cost, but only when ordered.
The door of
the chute is
made of check-
ered steel, af-
fording a good
foothold and
capable of sup-
porting ordi-
nary sidewalk
traffic. The
frame and
hinge are of
malleable iron with hinge pins of brass. Shipping
weight, No. 10, 100 pounds; No. 1, 145 pounds; No.

Mail Receiver
PRIVATE MAIL SERVICE is a
modern convenience that should
be included in every home by
means of a Donley Built-in Mail
Receiver. This mail receiver is a
metal chute with a door at each
end that connects the inside and
outside walls of the home, usu-
ally close to the front entrance. The postman de-
posits the mail in the chute through the outside
door— the housewife removes the mail from the
inside of the home. Mail is protected from the
weather and remains in the receiver until, at her
leisure, the housewife removes it — without any
bother and without stepping outside the house.
It is a great convenience to the home owner, gives
complete protection to the mail and is a more at-
tractive mail receptacle.
There are three general types of Donley Mail Re-
ceivers as shown below. At the left is the Number
9 Receiver, the most recent model, a chute body
type designed for both the narrow and wide wall
space. It has a pressed bronze outer door and
frame, carefully designed and made to be water-
proof. Regularly finished in dark antique brass
color. At the right is Number 3 box type with
large mail capacity and horizontal door. In the
center are Numbers 1 and 2 chute types with hori-
zontal door. Numbers 1, 2, and 3 have an outer
door of cast bronze (light) in natural finish. All
types are available for both brick and frame or
stucco construction. They have galvanized steel
Fig. 3
bodies and pressed steel inner doors. There are no
springs or other parts to get out of order, no keys
to lose. These mail receivers are weather-proof,
easy to install, attractive, low in cost and will not
rust. Types for frame construction are designated
with an "F," brick or masonry types with a "B."
Donley Mail Receivers are completely assembled
and carefully packed in individual cartons with
simple directions for installation.

Access Doors
TO REACH CONCEALED PLUMBING Donley Ac-
cess Doors save tearing out of plaster to reach hid-
den plumbing, wiring or steam pipes. Set flush
with the wall they may be calked and painted or
papered over, remaining practically invisible at all
times. When repairs are necessary, they open eas-
ily for quick access to concealed plumbing. The
unit consists of frame and door. The frame is made
of two welded angles, its outer and inner edge per-
forated for plaster key and easy nailing. Door is
made from furniture quality steel, finished in gray
priming coat. It is held in place by two lugs at the
bottom and by interior button catch at the top.
This catch is opened by turning a screw driver in-
serted in the slot. The
door then falls outward
at the top and is easily
lifted from the lower
lugs, leaving the open-
ing clear. See drawing

the result. Donley Metal Thresholds of cast iron,

Donley Septic Tank
For Cottages,
Country Homes
and Camps
Above is shown general layout of sanitary system for rural home, illustrating relation of parts,
but not to be taken as an exact guide. Dimensions, etc., are furnished in instructions with tank.
Private Sewage System for homes not reached by
public sewers, the Donley Septic Tank offers a safe,
effective and economical sanitary system. A septic
tank installation does its work out of sight, beneath
the soil, is free from offensive odors, needs no
chemicals and requires no attention for long periods.
Gives City Convenience. Country life has many
charms but too often these charms are offset by
poor sanitary arrangements. By means of the Don-
ley Septic Tank, your rural home may have the
convenience of a home in the city, including a bath-
room in which you can take great pride. Many
thousands of rural dwellers and cottagers have
proved the complete practicability of this type of
sanitary system.
Made for long service — the Donley Septic Tanks are
made for those who appreciate differences in value.
They are made of 14 gauge copper bearing steel.
Of utmost importance is the protection to the steel
accomplished by a thick overall coating of asphalt.
This is applied by dipping the Tank in hot asphalt,
thoroughly covering all parts both inside and out.
The interior is designed in accordance with the
latest approved principles developed by sanitary
engineers.
Though hidden from view the inner parts are full
thickness and size and thoroughly protected. A
flanged lid is held in place with three strong bolts.
Inlet and outlet connections are made for pipe six
inches in diameter and any mechanic can readily
adapt them to any other size of pipe used.
How it Operates. The inflow from the house sewer
is into the larger, sludge chamber where the solids
are dissolved and bacteria action begins. As the

bacterial action continues the liquid passes into the
outflow chamber for further purification before
passing into the outflow tile and disposal bed. This
prolonged action is possible only because of the in-
clusion of TWO chambers.
Directions for installing the Donley Septic Tank
and methods of laying tile disposal system under
different conditions are attached to each tank. If in
doubt about size of tank to choose, it is preferable
to select the larger one.
Grease Traps
Grease interferes with the septic action in a septic
tank. For this reason it is advisable to remove
excessive grease from the waste water by means of
the Donley Grease Trap.
Since excessive grease is usually from the kitchen
sink, the grease trap is placed in the line, between
31
sink and septic tank (see sketch at top of page 30).
Because it requires an occasional cleaning, it should
be accessible for cleaning with a minimum of trouble.
Construction of the grease trap is similar to the
septic tank, being made of 14 gauge copper bearing
steel. Also, it is thoroughly protected inside and
out by a thick asphalt coating over all surfaces, ap-
plied by the hot dip process.
Trap is flanged at top and bottom for extra strength.
Two substantial bolts hold the top in place and the
inlet and outlet have threaded connection for 2"
standard pipe. Diameter is 23", height 24". This
provides 63% more capacity than the frequently
used 18"x24" size. For that reason less frequent
removal of grease is necessary. Quality construc-
tion assures the user of long service and a mini-
mum of care.

greater de-
mand for this
Donley Un-
tie r g r o u n d
Garbage Re-
ceiver. Con-
sider a few of the advantages of this modern gar-
bage receiver in contrast to the old, unsightly, odor-
ous garbage can— (1) It is hidden from sight, under-
ground, only an inconspicuous, grass-green top
being visible in the lawn or cement area. (2) It is
protected from frost — (3) no destructive hammer-
ing of the container to free contents. (4) It is
opened by a foot lever so that both hands can be
occupied while emptying refuse. (5) Dogs cannot
spill the garbage. (6) Its tight lid seals in odors
which draw flies, other insects and rats. (7) Two
piece top prevents garbage falling between pail and
outer shell.
Donley Garbage Receivers are the product of 25
years of experience in the manufacture of under-
ground garbage receivers. They are of three sec-
tions—outer shell, top and inner pail. The outer
shell is made of 16-gauge copper alloy steel, cor-
rugated top and bottom for strength, and stiffened
at the bottom with galvanized cross rods. The inner
pail or container is made of copper alloy steel,
galvanized after fabrication which means that it is

ceiver with top closed. The two

sizes available.
protected at every crevice. A slight taper gives
ample clearance and special attachment of handle
makes it easier to take out or put back.
The top is in two parts, made of steel to insure long
life and the greatest strength with the least weight.
This lighter weight is appreciated when opening the
lid by foot pressure. The large, convenient opening
is eleven inches in diameter and the cover, which is
hinged to the outer container, is raised only when
the pail is removed. These receivers give satisfac-
tion for years and are endorsed by the Good House-
keeping Institute.

Sash of Donley Basement Windows are faced with
cork, glued in place as a cushion for the panes of
glass and each pane rests on a cork strip at the bot-
tom. The glass is held in place with spring steel
"Jiffy Clips," or with ordinary glazing mastic.
Jiffy Clips are Donley's solution to quick, easy
glazing. The cartoons above show how simple this
operation is. Each pane of glass is held in place by
these clips — a strong, neat, clean method of glazing.
The clip is sprung into place and held by grooves in
the T-section that coincide with the projections in
the clip. The clips, shown below, are of tempered
spring steel and rust-proofed by the Parker process.
Actual Size
This illustrates how
the glazing clips are
packed. One of these packages,
containing a set of clips, is se-
curely attached to each window.

Utility Windows
Donley Utility Windows
fill a widespread need for
a general purpose, sturdy,
metal framed window of
simple design. Their con-
struction is similar to the
Donley Basement Win-
dow but only one part is
designed to open. The
ventilator part is at the
top in the six light size
and in center of the nine
light size.
Donley Utility Windows
are widely used in ga-
rages, studios, shops or
for any other purpose where a spacious, strongly-
built window is required. These windows are to be
glazed with putty, and for this purpose, glazing
clips are furnished with each window.

Screens for Donley
Windows
When you order Donley Basement or Utility Win-
dows, be sure to provide screens to fit. The Donley
Screen is designed for fastening to the outside of
the window in all sizes listed.
Screens are made of close mesh, bronze wire framed
with steel and are complete, ready to install. Two
bolts hold the screens securely fastened in place
from the inside, where an intruder cannot unfasten
them. You will have no trouble with flies when you
ventilate your basement or garage, no difficulty with
loose, ill fitting screens.
Steel Clothes Posts
Donley Clothes Posts are so
trim, so inconspicuous with
their grass-green paint that
they are seldom noticed ex-
cept on wash day. They are
made of reclaimed pipe, 2%"
in diameter, 9%' in length
with a cross rod at the top
for attaching the line. Don-
ley Clothes Posts cost less than wooden
posts and have every advantage of strength,
neatness and resistance to weather. It is
recommended that they be set in the ground
in concrete, although the concrete is not
absolutely necessary. Posts may be or-
dered with or without the ornamental cast
iron top. Post with top, 38 lbs.
Wall
Plug
Donley Wall Plugs are needed wherever wood mem-
bers must be nailed to the masonry wall. They are
the standard method of attaching wood furring to
support lath on wall board. Also used in applica-
tion of woodwork, wainscoting, etc. Deeply cor-
rugated, heavy galvanized, they afford a sure grip
on the nail and resist corrosion. Side construction
excludes mortar. Shipping weight, 100 pounds per
1000.
Steel Basement Columns
Save Basement Space. The
square at the right repre-

brick column in the base-
ment. The circle within
shows by comparison the space taken by

Donley Columns are strong, economical,
neat in appearance, easy to install and
require less space. Made of steel pipe,
thoroughly painted, they are available in
4" and 5" diameters in four standard
lengths. Special sizes cut to order.
Donley Basement Columns are regularly
shipped with pressed steel caps and bases
unless otherwise specified.

Burn Garbage and Trash
in a
Donley Incinerator
The quick, neat, most satisfactory way to dispose of
waste, garbage and trash is by use of a flue fed
Donley Incinerator. This incinerator is designed
and built to give years of satisfaction and trouble-
free operation. The owner has a right to expect
such long life and durability in a product of this
kind and Donley Incinerators meet that expectation.
Owners appreciate these qualities and the avoidance
of costly repairs in equipment of such importance.
A Donley Incinerator usually costs nothing to oper-
ate since trash and wastes are sufficient fuel.
The nine sizes available fit anything from a five-
room cottage to a large apartment, hospital, school
or store. (Incinerator is installed in building during
construction but can be built into a finished house
if there is a flue available. In the latter case, how-
ever, trash is fed through fire door in the basement
instead of being fed through the flue).
Description. The Donley Incinerator consists of the
metal equipment supplied by us, and the brick work
installed as a part of the regular masonry contract.
The latter consists of a brick box in the basement
and a chimney that also serves as a chute for the
garbage. Metal equipment includes fire door, ash
door, grates, grate frame, crank, roof irons and
chimney screen. Receiving hopper doors are priced
separately as the number required varies, one or
more being required for each incinerator.
Operation is simple and calls, normally, for no
added fuel. Where wastes are unusually moist (as
fruit store) or where conditions may cause slow
drying, a gas burner is recommended. (These burn-
ers are included on order at small extra cost). Gar-
bage, wrapped in paper, is dropped through receiv-
ing door to the grates where it accumulates and
dries. Once or twice a week, fire door is opened and
match applied. After burning, grates are dumped
and ashes, with unburnable trash, removed period-
ically.
Installation is made by the mason with the aid of
details and directions which we furnish. Every
structural feature has been designed to avoid need
of special supervision of construction and subse-
quent servicing. Table on the next page will aid
you in determining the size suitable for your use.

Donley Receiving Hopper Doors
Flush Style
Projecting Style
The Receiving Hopper Door is the part of the in-
cinerator that shows in the living quarters (of the
home or apartment). It should be located for con-
venience in disposing of kitchen waste. Donley re-
ceiving hopper doors are available in two styles as
shown. The two smaller sizes, numbered 1 and 2
are of the flush type illustrated at left. The larger
sizes numbered 3 and 4 are of the projecting type
illustrated at right. Both types are furnished in
prime coat so they may be finish painted to match
surroundings. Special finishes are available at
slight extra cost. Information about special quiet
door checks furnished on request.
The Receiving Hopper Doors are attractively de-
signed and carefully fitted. They are made of high
grade cast iron, of substantial weight to avoid
warping. Like the other parts of the incinerator
they are made to minimize upkeep and repair ex-
pense.
Heavy sheet metal hopper moves with the door,
closing the opening to stack when door is opened.

Donley Steel Mortar Boxes
Water Tight— Easy to Clean. These sturdy Donley
Steel Mortar Boxes do not leak, shrink, swell or
become waterlogged as do common wooden boxes.
Donley Mortar Boxes aid
accurate mixing of the
mortar or plaster, since
water is retained instead of
being absorbed by the
wood or leaking out
through cracks.
Best plastering results de-
pend upon thorough clean-
ing of past mixes from the
box. The Donley Mortar
Box has a smooth interior,
free from rivet heads or projections, therefore thor-
ough cleaning is easy. Contractors report that plas-
ter does not "go dead" quickly when mixed in these
steel boxes.
In cold weather the box can be set on brick or tile
supports and a fire built beneath to heat the mix.
For more accurate temperature control, place a
smaller box within a larger one and resting on
Picks up six or more bricks at a time, without dam-
age to bricks. Adjustable from 15 to 25 inch opening.

bricks or blocks. Put water in outer box and use
the inner one for mixing. This will keep the mix-
ture warm but well below the boiling point.
Donley Steel Mortar Boxes are made of one piece
14-gauge steel (except Nos. 3 and 4, 16-gauge) se-
curely welded at the joints and reinforced at the
top with hot rolled steel angle. They are strong and
well made, but are light enough to handle easily.
Inverted, they make a handy temporary roof to pro-
tect sacks of cement or plaster. Donley Mortar
Boxes nest conveniently for storage and when
shipped in quantities of three or more, obtain
minimum freight costs.

Donley Salamanders
Corner Wheel Guards
For
Construction
Heating
Add months to the season of profitable building
with Donley Salamanders. These substantial, low
cost portable heaters maintain proper setting tem-
peratures for plaster and concrete and warm
numbed fingers, even on the highest scaffold. They
are also in general use as stoves in construction
offices and in temporary living quarters of construc-
tion labor.
Donley Salamanders will burn any fuel, are built
with grates that stay in place and with sides that do
not cave in when hot, for they are stiffened by
heavy reinforcing channel from top to bottom which
also forms the legs. Corrugation near the top pro-
vides additional strength.
As shown in the table, tops and ash pans are op-
tional to fit requirements of the job. Tops are
equipped with 6" flue connection and with stove lid.
All parts are standardized and are quickly available.
Tops, grates and ash pans of No. 118 and 228 are
interchangeable. Contractors who standardize on
Donley Salamanders soon realize their economy and
efficiency.

No. 115 — Salamander is made for use on scaffolds or out of
the way places where lightness counts.
No. 112 — Small Salamander, weighs only 20 pounds and stands
but 23 inches high, consequently is ideal where extreme lightness
and convenience in a salamander are necessary.
Where driveways adjoin
buildings these Donley Corner
Wheel Guards protect the
building from passing vehi-
cles. Made of heavy cast iron,
they deflect any wheel and
prevent damage to the corner
of the building. They bolt to
the corner of the building
with two %" x 8" bolts pro-
vided with each guard. Made
in three sizes, 22, 30 and 60"
in height (see measurements
below). Sixty inch type pro-
tects against truck bodies or
loads. Shipping weights, 50,
85 and 135 pounds respec-
tively.
Jamb Wheel Guards
Similar to the corner wheel guard, the Donley Jamb
Wheel Guard bolts against the flat surface of the
door jambs for protection of the building. Indis-
pensable in public garages, service stations, ware-
houses and terminals —
as well as valuable in
private garages where
jamb and door con-
struction permits. It
does not diminish the
effect of the width of
the door, but protects
it from vehicles. Its
height is 22" and its
projection 8V2". Ship-
ping weight 40 pounds.
Attached to jamb by
two %" x 8" bolts fur-
nished with each guard.

Roof Coating
(Asbestos Fiber)
Roofs of homes, garages, in-
dustrial or commercial
buildings, schools, public
buildings, etc., are subject to
a continuous process of de-
terioration from the action
of the elements. Constant
vigilance and the timely use
of Donley Asbestos Fiber
Roof Coating are the measures which will keep your
roof intact, waterproof and serviceable for long
periods.
Donley Asbestos Fiber Roof Coating is a blend of
high grade, selected asphalts, compounded with spe-
cially treated oils that retain their life for long
periods, and is heavily reinforced with long fiber
asbestos. It softens and preserves the fabric, re-
stores flexibility, protects the nail heads, flashings
and other metal features of the roof from rust and
disintegration. Makes an excellent protection for
metal roofs. Ordinarily one application suffices, but
roof should be inspected at the end of 24 hours and
where a "dull" spot in a fabric or paper roof indi-
cates greater porosity, a second application over
such areas is desirable.
Donley Asbestos Fiber Roof Coating is regularly
shipped in 5-galIon cans with easily removable cov-
ers. It is also available in 35-gallon drums, 55-gallon
drums and gallon cans. The shipping weight is 10
pounds per gallon.
Donley Waterproofing
Donley Waterproofing is a highly
penetrating and lasting bituminous
brush coat that gives unusual pro-
tection wherever used for damp
proofing and waterproofing. It is
especially recommended for appli-
cation cold on exteriors of founda-
tion walls below grade. Average
covering capacity per gallon is 75
square feet, one coat; 50 square feet, two coats.
Shipped in 5-gallon cans with handles and easily
removable cover. Available also in 1-gallon cans,
half barrels and barrels. Shipping weight approxi-
mately 9 pounds.
Fibrated Roof Cement
Donley Fibrated Roof Cement is a trowel applica-
tion of paste consistency that stops leaks in almost
any type of roof, including slate or shingle roofs of
residences. Its ingredients are similar to the roof
coating but of heavier consistency and it should be
used around seams, flashings and obvious breaks
in the roof fabric as a preliminary to brushing on
Donley Asbestos Fiber Roof Coating. Valuable for
emergency use in stopping leaks. Donley Roof
Patching Cement is supplied in 5-pound, 10-pound,
25-pound and 50-pound cans and in steel drums of
approximately 550 pounds.
Ventilators, Adjustable and
Fixed
^
Dry rot, a fungus
disease of timber,
develops in dark
places that lack
sufficient ventila-
tion. Donley Venti-
lators prevent dry
rot by letting fresh
air under porches,
under homes with-
out basements, in
attics or closed
lofts, vegetable cel-
lars and elsewhere.
Donley Ventilators
are made in adjust-
able types and in types that always remain open.
Donley Adjustable Ventilators are made in two de-
signs — bar and round hole (see illustrations above).
The bar design with slotted openings %" wide has
the most free area, double that of the round hole.
Roth designs are opened or closed by pushing, to
right or left, the knob on the movable part. They
are made of cast iron, with bar design also available
in cast bronze. Supplied with bronze fly screen at
small extra cost.

Donley Concrete Inserts
A Stronger Insert. For the hanging of
fixtures, shafting, pipe, tracks, etc.,
Donley Inserts give maximum strength.
In choosing inserts, they should be
judged by load capacity, not by bolt
size. For instance the Donley Insert
for a %" bolt will safely support a
weight of 1200 pounds with a safety
factor of four, whereas some inserts
on the market will only support 800
pounds on a %" bolt. Both material
and design of Donley Concrete Inserts
insure greatest load bearing capacity.
Made of high grade malleable casting,
its two spread legs engage an unusual
amount of concrete and the ilat lugs at the upper ends
assure maximum anchorage.
The design of Donley Inserts was proved sound bv a
series of thorough tests. These tests consisted of loading
to failure many inserts of each size. In nearly every
case, the failure occurred in the bolt or bolt threads.
This proved that each insert developed a strength equal
to the strength of the bolt in each size. The letter at the
right tells of an experience of a well known firm of
^ engineers.
The diagram at the left shows the
amount of concrete engaged as
proved by insert installations
tested to failure.

*l t _?_ n . t . 1 . on fr fr. Ceorfe Donley
Dear Mr. Donley: -
I thought perhaps you would be Interested in a
little Incident that happened come time ago in the plant of one
of our clients, a large automotive manufacturer.
Running thru the plant was a light monorail
traveller of some thousand feet in length. It passed thru build-
ings of various types of construction and was suspended froci
various types of inserts in concrete or hangers direct from
structural steel members.
The workman, desiring to lift a five ton load,
suspended a block from this monorail. This load being eight or
nine times the carrying capacity of the track could have but one
result. The track, in its failure, was whipped down for a distance
of nearly 300 ft. and there was every conceivable kind of failure
in the inserts or the hanpers, But I am pleased to say that the
section of the building which we erected, where the monorail was
suspended from 3/4" Donley Standard Inserts, that in every case
the Insert remained intact but that the failure was either in the
belt, the bolt head or the threads. When the monorail was re-
erected the Donley inserts were reused and are still in service.
Yours very
. r^Ouc^,
Showing Amount of
Concrete Engaged
The bolt head is thrust through a
squared opening at the end of a slot (see photograph
above), and moved to the desired position. This permits
an adjustment that is one of the advantages
of the Donley Insert. Wherever it is impor-
tant to get the utmost support from the con-
crete and the bolt, be sure to use a Donley
Concrete Insert.

How To Get Donley Devices
The first step is to take this book to your
architect while the home is being planned
and explain to him that you want Donley
Devices in your home * * or with your
builder, if no architect is employed. * *
It is probable that both know just where
they can be secured. * * Donley Devices
are sold through responsible building
material dealers, located in principal
centers. * * These dealers have a fund of
practical information and a real desire
to help you. * * If in doubt about the
Donley Dealer in your locality, write to
the Donley Brothers Company, 13900
Miles Avenue, Cleveland, Ohio. * * Should

OTHERS HAVE FOUND THIS BOOK OF
SUCCESSFUL FIREPLACES USEFUL
"It seems to have exactly the information that
most of our readers are seeking." — Good House-
keeping Magazine,
"I bought my first damper from you in 19:i().
Your Hook of Successful Fireplaces and Catalog
sold me on the Donley damper. At the time I
was a rank amateur, but your plans for fireplace
construction made the procedure so simple I just
had to do it myself. Structurally it turned out
perfectly and everyone was amazed because they
all expected it to smoke. I have preached the
Donley gospel ever since." — Wendell Smith, Art
Director, Capper's Farmer, Topeka, Kansas.
"My fireplace works fine, thanks to the Donley
Damper and fireplace specifications." — G. Reed
Snyder, Carlisle, Pa.
"My brother from Denmark, a mason contractor,
is visiting the United States. He wishes to get a
sketch of a good dependable fireplace.
"From actual experience, I know that fireplaces
erected according to instructions sent with the
'Donley' dampers are very satisfactory.

WHAT OUR FRIENDS TELL US
A material dealer in Youngstown, Ohio, has this
to say: "In view of the fact that we have han-
dled your materials for a number of years and
have never had occasion to ask for an adjust-
ment or a claim of any kind warrants us to
write you that we greatly appreciate the co-oper-
ation which you give your dealers — first, the high
grade materials which you use in your complete
line of articles; second, the national advertising
which is of great help; third, the service which
we are able to give through your catalogs and
literature."
F. J. McFadden, architect, of Lorain, Ohio, writes
to tell of building a rust.c fireplace in his studio
office, using a Donley Damper. "For my own
satisfaction," he states, "I decided to construct
this myself and see if a real unskilled mechanic
could follow your very complete details and pro-
duce a fireplace of credit. The room, 15x30 feet,
is being heated with this only and no wind has
ever blown smoke down the flue and back into
the room. As an architect I have specified Don-
ley products for years and have in all cases
found the goods as represented and my advice
to all prospective builders of fireplaces is to se-
lect your damper and specialties and in all cases
follow details to the letter and I can assure you
the result will be most gratifying. There is no
luck in the construction of a fireplace. Follow
the details as prepared by Donley. They have
done your experiments for you."
"I want you to know that we like our Heatsaver
Fireplace very much," writes C. V. Barber of
Chagrin Falls, Ohio. "The warm air outlet to
the second floor bedroom makes it warm and
cozy. I like the Heatsaver better than a furnace.
It heats quicker and with but a small amount of
fuel."
"Feeling is believing," writes E. V. Cooke of
Cleveland, Ohio. "Although convinced of the
soundness of the principles on which your Heat-
saver fireplace is constructed- — at the time of pur-
chase, it was not until I actually built a fire in
it on one of the first cold days of the season that
I appreciated how much additional comfort it
adds to a living room. The quantity of heat out-
put is a source of continuous surprise and satis-
faction."
"My Heatsaver fireplace has been in some two
weeks. It is so satisfactory that I am in a meas-
ure neglecting business by spending so much of
my time enjoying the glow and cheerfulness. It
sure is 100% satisfactory.
"It's a marvelous heater. I never thought one
could secure so much heat from such a simple
device." — Harry Fisher, Cleveland, O.

YOU wouldn't think of buying lace curtains
that can't be washed. Then, don't get
window shades that can't be scrubbed. Get
"Tontine" washable shades. They're made of
a special pyroxylin impregnated cloth that
can be washed with soap and water. After a
little scrubbing they look bright and clean . . .
as crisp and new as the day you bought them.
"Tontine" shades are remarkably durable.
"We've had our 'Ton-
tine' shades for years.
They've been washed
at least a dozen times
— and look as nice
now as the day I
bought them." — Mrs.
John L. Myles, Scars-
date, N. Y.
They won't crack, fray or pinhole! Rain won't
hurt them! Sunshine won't fade them! And no
matter how often you wash "Tontine" shades,
they keep their original color. And they save
money in replacements — because they wear
so long.
Read what these three women have to say
about "Tontine" shades:
'"The only shade used
i nTh e Sherry-Nether-
land hotel is 'Ton-
tine.' They last long-
er and save money."
—Miss Anne Owens,
Ex e c u live Ho u s e-
keeper, The Sherry-
Netherland. JV. Y. C.
"Our 'Tontine' shades
get a thorough scrub-
bing during soring
ho usee leaning. They
certainly come clean.
And we again have
'new' shades." — Mrs.
Joseph A. Cuddihy,
Phoenix, Arizona.

THAT DRIES THE TEARS OF YESTERYEARS FROM SHOWERS
FIAT has achieved a leakproof shower— a feat in careful engi-
neering that few people thought could be achieved, yet everyone
agreed would be wonderful. The secret is first of all the pat-
ented FIAT pre-cast receptor— then a way of getting rid of joints
and cracks that could leak. Sounds simple and is for you to enjoy
if you insist on FIAT.
